LONDON,   Auk.    II (By  Thomas  T. 

Champion,  Canadian  Associated  Press). 
—Once  again  Canadian  representatives 
have  been  permitted  to  visit  the  Can- 
adian portion  of  the  battle  lines  In 
the  West,  The  eyes  of  the  world  have, 
of  course,  lately  been  most  closely 
directed  to  the  larger  operations  in  the 
Homme  sector,  where  the  British, 
French  and  Australians  are  thrusting 
ut  and  through  the  German  entrench- 
naonta.  Nevertheless,  when  enabled  to 
go  alone;  the  Canadian  lines  and  see 
and  hear  what  was  being  done  there, 
tone  realised  Immediately  how  the  Do- 
minion's forces,  though  not  at  the  mo- 
ment directly  In  the  limelight,  have 
been  helping  to  bring  auocess  to  the 
Allied  armies  as  surely  as  the  brave 
fellow*  on  the  Homme. 


Germans   In  a  healthy  state  of  Jumpi- 
nesa. 


While  the  correspondents  were  In 
the  vicinity  there  was  a  strong  attack 
cm  the  Canadian  trenches.  The  Ger- 
mane were  completely  beaten  off.  Fur- 
thermore, our  bombers  more  than  once 
faave  made  ralda  against  the  Germans 
by  night,  laying  about  them  right  and 
left  with  their  deadly  missiles  during 
their  brief  stays,  and  even  bringing 
back  some  prisoners  at  the  point  of  the 
bayonet  across  "No  Man's  Land."  In 
an  ordinary  day's  routine,  there  have 
been  never-ceasing  artillery  duels,  snip- 
ing and  Indiscriminate  but  constant 
rifle  fire  all  night  by  the  enemy.  When 
one  remembers  these  things,  and  still 
more,  sees  the  actual  activity,  wonder 
ceases  that  the  Canadian*  casualty  l|sts 
hear  many  names,  even  when  what  Is 
called  th#  real  hard  lighting  seems  to 
be  proceeding  at  another  portion  of  the 
front. 

"The  Boache  la  Just  I  as  vicious  -a*. 
aver,"  declared  a  brigadier  In  hie  dug- 
out  over   breakfast. 

Not  many  hours  after  the  correspon- 
dents had  an  experience  of  one  form  of 
thla  viclousness.  It  was  not  unexpec- 
ted, for  when  an  artillery  bombard- 
'  ment  baa  been  unduly  prolonged,  our 
fellows  are  pretty  certain  that  grey- 
coated  infantrymen  will  soon  attempt 
to  follow. 

The  German  attack  was  made  during 
the  broiling  heat  of  the  forenoon  at  a 
portion  of  the  Canadian  lines  held  by 
(battalions  Which  received  a  gruelling 
In  the  activities  of  a  couple  pf  months 
ago.  Probably  the  Germans  knew  very 
well  what  battalions  were  against 
them.  They  nevsr  could  have  meant 
real  business,  though.  The  Are  of  the 
deadly  Lewie  gups  met  them  before 
their  attacking  parties  were  yet  half 
way  across  the  "No  Man's  Land"-— met 
them.  In  fact,  as  soon  as  they  had 
started  the  trip  of  a  few  hundred  feet 
whloh  In  many  cases  ended  at  less  than 
40.  But  some  of  them  escaped  the  bul- 
lets and  reached  our  trenches. 
Attempt  Oivea  Vp* 

The  fight  lasted  a  couple  of  hours 
or  more,  under  a  biasing  sun,  amidst 
mounds  of  powdery  dust  and  broken 
barbed  wire.  Then  the  German  com- 
manders gave  up  sending  men  across 
to  be  killed  off.  The  Canadians,  it  need 
hardly  be  amid,  did  not  get  off  any- 
thing like  scot  free,  but  the  front  line 
remained*  as  1*  had  been  except  for 
the  ruin  created  by  the  German  artil- 
lery, whloh  Will  by  now  have  been  made 
right. 

Two  years  of  war  makes  sueh  an  in- 
cident as  that  unsuccessful  attack  of 
comparatively  trifling  consequence  to 
nil  except  those  who  take  part,  and 
even  they  take  it  as  a  matter  of  course 
■which  occurred  before  and  will  of  a 
certainty  occur  again.  The  German 
will  never  win  the  War  with  such  en- 
terprises, and  he  knows  it  aa  well  as 
any,  but  sueh  an  encounter  does  show 
though  that  the  German  soldier  indi- 
vidually J*  still  full  Of  fight.  Further. 
•very  Canadian  to  whom  I  have  spoken 
here  gives  the  enemy  credit  for  be- 
ing a*. 

"I  have  never  yet  aeon  the  ellghtest 
weakening  in  the  German  morale,"  de- 
clared a  general.  The  same  opinion 
was  express  id  by.  other  critics  Just  aa 
competent  to  Judge.  / 

Further  than  thla,  the  German  artil- 
lery before  the  Canadian  front  haa 
ahowa  not  the  least  sign  of  weakening. 


Such  an  enterprise  was  carried  out 
under  my  eyes  the  other  night.  Our 
boys  crept  stealthily  out  of  the  trench- 
es Into  "No  Man'e  Land,"  bearing 
amongst  them  a  goodly  number  of 
bombs,  each  with  a  mechanism  as  In- 
tricate as  an  alarm  clock. 

For  the  Canadian  troops  It  le  com- 
paratively xtilfliiej  •  matter  to  go  out 
Into  "No  Man's  Land"  nowadays,  for  It 
Is  commsnded  by  ue  as  completely  as 
are  the  seas  commanded  by  the  British 
navy.  The  German  seems  to  have  no 
heart  for  going  out  there  on  his  own 
or  In  twos  or  threes,  so  our  chaps 
worm  themselves  out  of  the  shelter  of 
our  trenches  into  the  dark  unconcerned- 
ly. It  does  not  look  a  bit  heroic  to 
see  the  start.  The  boys  might  be  go- 
ing to  clear  out  a  stepped  drain,  ex- 
cept that  they  carry  their  rifles.  If

GREAT  AlflSHIPS 


LONDON.  Aug.  U  — The  Dally 
Express  featuree  aa  article  by  Its 
naval  expert  on  "our  new  seppei- 
ins"  which  nays: 

"During  the  last  week  I  have 
watched  the  great  British  airships 
at  work,  and  although  I  am  un- 
able to  make*  practical  compari- 
sons with  the  German  seppelins. 
our  new  airships  certainly  seem 
marvelously  rigid  and  beautifully 
designed.  Mariners  who  have  made 
close  observations  of  German 
dirigibles,  consider  our  new  air- 
ships capable  of  being  handled 
more  readily,  of  finer  model  and 
altogether  less  cumbersome  than 
the  German  type.  The  British  air- 
ships, moreover,  attain  an  amaz- 
ingly high  speed."

WITH  THE  BRITISH  ARMY  IN 
PRANCE.  Aug.  It.— With  the  sky  clear 
for  artillery  observation,  following  the 
heavy  rains,  the  English  and  French 
attacked  the  German  lines  this  after- 
non  along  the-  entire  front  from  the 
Ancre  to  the  Somme.  where  the  blows 
during  the  last  six  weeks  have  broken 
the  German  first  line  everywhere  and 
the  second  line  at  many  points. 

From  the  ridge  above  Posleres,  where 
the  battered  stone  ruins  of  a  windmill 
stand,  to  the  highest  point  on  the  hori-

wood  and  thence  along  Del vl lie  wood

where  there  hips*  beeisnno'  cessation  In 
the  fighting  or  the  pounding  of  the  guns, 
day  after  day,  there  was  a  continuous 
cloud  of  smoke  from  the  bursting  shells 
thle  afternoon  as  the  British  and  French 
guns  united  In  their  thunders. 

The  British  made  gains  on  either 
sides  of  Guillemont,  where  the  Oermans 
still  hold  the  fortification  of  their  old 
second  line,  and  have  their  heaviest  con- 
centration of  guns. 

The  fighting  Is  still  in  progress  at 
this  writing.

LONDON.  Aug.  li._ The  Marquis  of 
Crsw,  Lord  President  of  the  Council, 
has  been  appointed  President  of  the 
Board  of  Education  In  the  British  cab- 
inet In  addition   to  his  other  duties. 

Mr.  Arthur  Henderson,  who  is  suc- 
ceeded aa  President  of  the  Board  of 
Education  by  Lord  Crewe,  and  who  waa 
retained  In  the  cabinet  In  the  unpaid 
position  of  labor  adviser  to  the  govern- 
ment, haa  been  appointed  Paymaster 
General,  succeeding  Baron  Newton,  who 
has  resigned  that  office  and  has  been 
appointed  Assistant  Under  Secretary  of

PETROGRAD,  Aug.  18.— The  official 
atatement   issued    today   reads: 

"The  situation  In  the  Western  and 
Caucasian   fronts   is   unchanged. 

"On  the  Baltic  Sea  on  the  night  of 
the  16th  a  squadron  of  our  seaplanes, 
commanded  by  Naval  Lieut.  Llchlne, 
made  a  successful  flight  over  the  en- 
emy's aviation  station  near  Lake  An- 
gern  (off  the  west  coast  of  the  Gulf  of 
Riga).  The  bombs  dropped  apparently 
caused  great  damage,  destroying  one 
hangar  and  setting  fire  to  buildings  at 
many  points.  Our  aviators  were  sub- 
jected to  a  '  violent  anti-aircraft  gun 
but  this  did  not  prevent  them  from  ac- 
complishing their  task  and  aafely  re- 
turning to  their  base.'* 

Ptegieas  la  Mountains 
A  report  Issued  this  morning  sayej 
"On  the  front  of  the  Zlota  Lipa  west 
of  Podhajce  the  enemy  resumed  the 
offensive  with  considerable  force  with- 
out success.  The  enemy  sustained 
great  losses. 

"On  the  river  Bystritxa-Solotvlna  we 
occupied  Lysletx  (five  miles  southwest 
of  Stanlslau)  on  the  western  bank  of 
the  river.  In  the  direction  of  Ardselus 
our  troops  occupied  a  series  of  heights. 

"In  the  region  of  Korosmeso  (Car- 
pathians) our  troops,  continuing  their 
advance,  approached  the  summits  of 
the  mountains  in  the  vicinity  of  Koros- 
meso. 

"On  the  Caucasus  front  the  Turkish 
offensive  in  the  region  west  of  Lake 
Van  was  repulsed  easily  by  our  troops. 

"In  Persia,  In  the  region  of  Kala 
Pasova,  encounters  took  place  with 
considerable  Turkish   forces." 

Korosmeso  Is  a  town  on  the  Hungar- 
ian side  of  the  Carpathians,  lying  on 
the  Ttssa  river  about  five  miles  south- 
west of  the  Jablonltsa  Pass.  The  forces 
which  are  advancing  In  that  direction 
are  the  forces  which  captured  the  town 
of  Jablonltsa,  a  few  miles  northeast  of 
the  Jablonltsa  Pass,  about  a  week  ago. 
they  will  have  crossed  the  Carpathians 
and  be  in  Hungarian  territory.

PARIS,  Aug.  It. — A  complete  reorgan- 
isation of<  the  German  forces  on  the 
West  front  from  Flanders  to  Alsace, 
has  been  effected,  it  was  learned  today 
from  an  authoritative  French  military 
source.  \ 

Field  Marshal  von  Mackensen,  who 
commanded  the  German  campaign  In 
Russia  a  year  ago  in  May,  and  subse- 
quently through  Siberia,  is  now  in  su- 
preme command,  except  only  over  the 
forces  of  the  Crown  Prince  at  Verdun. 

The  reorganization  of  the  Western 
front  has  been  modelled  after  that  re- 
cently accomplished  on  the  Eastern 
front,  where  Field  Marshal  von  Hln- 
denburg  was  placed  in  supreme  com- 
mand over  all  the  German  and  Austrian 
forces,  with  the  exception  only  of  those 
in  southern  Galicia  directly  under  the 
Austrian  Crown  Prince.  Archduke 
Charles. 

AU  Available  Belnforeements 

Reinforcements  of  all  available  re- 
serves from  the  training  camps  in  the 
Interior  of  Germany  have  been  brought 
up  to  the  Somme  front,  and  a  great  ad- 
dition in  heavy  guns  and  other  artil- 
lery has  also  been  made  to  the  defen- 
sive apparatus.  This  was  done  at  the 
urgent  instigation  of  General  von  Mac- 
kensen, who  now  has  his  personal  head- 
quarters behind  the  German  lines  on  the 
Somme. 

Closely  associated  with  von  Macken- 
sen, and  acting  directly  under  him,  have 
been  assigned  Generals  von  Arnlm  and 
von  Gallwlts.  These  two  men  were  von 
Mackensen's  chief  lieutenants  in  Rus- 
sian campaign  of  1915. 

Regrouping  of  commands  on  the 
Western  front  by  the  German  general 
staff  Is  believed  to  be  an  acknowledg- 
ment of  the  threatened  success  of  the 
Anglo-French  offensive  and,  at  the  some 
time*  a  sharp  rebuke  to  the  German  gen- 
erals heretofore,  iff  command  in  the 
West,  chief  of  whom  was  General  von 
Buelow. 

,       sTew  Grouping 

The  present  grouping  of  commands 
is  now  believed  to  be  the  assignment  of 
General  von  Gallwitx  to  that  part  of 
the  Western  front  from  Flanders  to  the 
Somme.  On  the  Somme  General  von 
Mackensen  is  himself  directing  the  Ger- 
man defence,  while  General  von  Arnlm 
is  believed  to  be  assigned  to  the  Cham- 
pagne and   the  Argonne. 

The  German  Crown  Prince  remains  in 
command  at  Verdun,  and  General  von 
Buelow  is  believed  to  have  been  shifted 
to  the  command  In  Alsace  and  Lor- 
raine.

NEW  YORK,  Aug.  18. — A  cable  to  The

"Three  cases  of  th  •  dreaded  bubonic

LONDON.  Aug.  18.— The  British  reply 
to  the  American  Inquiry  in  regard  to  the 
censorship  of  news  cabled  from  Ger- 
many by  way  of  London  will  be  sent  to 
Washington  In  the  course  of  a  few  days. 
Discussing  this  subject  Lord  Robert 
Cecil,  War  Trade  minister,   said  today: 

"Considerable  misapprehension  evi- 
dently exists  In  regard  to  our  censorship 
of  transit  matter.  There  is  no  question 
that  such  a  censorship  on  our  wires  and 
cables  Is  necessary  as  long  as  Germany 
continues  in  absolute  control  of  Informa- 
tion from  that  country,  if  Germany 
should  abandon  tbe  censorship  ws  would 
not  Interfere  with  dispatches  from  un- 
biased American  correspondents. 

"Another  reason  why  we  now  censor 
such  matters  le  the  fact  that  Germany 
circulates  in  other  countries  dispatches 
sent  to  American  newspapers  as  the 
comment  of  these  papers." 

Several  weeks  a  group  of  American 
correspondents  in  Berlin  asked  Ambassa- 
dor Gerard  to  Inquire  If  the  American 
Government  could  obtain  for  the  Ameri- 
can press  facilities  for  the  forwarding 
of  press  dispatches  from  Germany  un- 
hampered by  British  censorship.  The 
State  Department,  on  receiving  thle  In- 
quiry, forwarded!  it  to  London  without 
comment.  Ambassador  Gerard  war 
quoted  aa  saying  that  he  could  not  en- 
dorse the  attitude  of  the  correspondents 
until  the  German  Government  removed 
the  censorship  on  American  dispatches. 


BERLIN.  Aug.  IS.— The  birthday  of 
Emperor  Frans  Joseph  of  Austria-Hun- 
gary waa  celebrated  here  today  on  a 
large  scale  la  military  and  diplomatic 
circles.  It  began  with  a  service  in  St. 
Hedwlg  Church  at  noon,  which  was  at- 
tended by  the  Austro-Hungartan  diplo- 
matic corps  and  many  Austro-Hungartan 
officers  stationed  here.  The  Germans 
attending  the  services  were  headed  by 
Or.  von  Bethmann-Hollweg,  the  Imperial 
German  Chancellor,  and  Dr.  Karl  Helf- 
ferich,  the  Minister  of  the  Interior. 
Others  present  were  the  Turkish  Am- 
bassador, Bulgarian  Minister  Klsow  and 
the  Swedish  Ambassador. 

Many  papers  extoll  the  aged  mon- 
arch's virtues,  praying  that  the  Austrian 
Emperor  may  be  spared  to  see  his  own

mans from  a  portion  of  the  village  of 
Fleury  which  they  were  occupying. 

"Some  enemy  troops  still  are  main- 
taining themselves  in  a  small  clump

mering and  team  work. 

"Thus,  yesterday,  the  advance  bound 
waa  preceded  by  two  days  of  tha  most 
tremendous  bombardment  I  aver  heard. 
Verdun  did  not  compare  with  it.  And 
you  muat  remember  that  "mastery  of 
tha  air  lets  us  know  the  exact  target*, 
while  tha  German  gunners  are  prac- 
tically blindfolded." 

The  captain,  who  took  part  In  tha 
assault  beyond  tha  Maurepas-Clery 
road,    said: 

"It  ia  difficult  at  many  placea  even 
to'  distinguish  where  tha  German 
trenches  have  been,  and  aa  good  a 
fighter  as  tha  Boscha  has  shown  him- 
self to  be.  you  don't  And  him  making 
desperate  resistance  In  thaae  shell 
holes,  like  our  men  at  Verdun.  Once 
tha  ahelters  and  quick-firers  have  bean 
demoliabad  tha  Germans  ■  throw  up  tha 
sponge  readily  enough." 

Question    of    Morale 
When  asked  whether  there  has  beep 
a    distinct    weakening    in    the    German 
morale  as  tha  offensive  progressed,  the 
officer  said: 

"It  is  hard  to  say,  for  two  reasons. 
First  tha  troops  opposite  any  one 
point  of  our  line  ara  constantly  being 
renewed,  so  that  what  one  takes  for 
lowered  morale  is  often  tha  inferior 
quality  of  tha  newcomers,  while  the 
next  lot  may  ba  better.  Second,  our 
present  a/stem  of  limiting  the  advance 
after  a  glgantlo  bombardment  hag  re. 
dueed  tha  defenders  to  such  a  condi- 
tion that  it  Is  impossible  to  Judge 
what  the  morale  would  be  in  mora 
equal  fighting. 

"The  only  indication  enema  to  ha 
tha  counter-attacks.  Jf  th'et  is  a  fair 
criterion,  than  their  morale  le  weaker, 
for  It  is  certain  tha  Germane  do  not 
dispute  the  gains  aa  they  did  before. 
They  have  doubtless  learned  prudence, 
but  When  It  comes  to  counter-attacks 
prudencs  is  apt  to  be  tha  mother  of 
timidity."  '  m  - 

NO  NEW  TRIAL 


atiiTHtlt  LOSES  CHILD 


WINNIPEG.  Aug.  11.— The  court  of 
appeal  today  refused  to  grant  a  new 
trial  to  Thomas  Kelly.  Chief  Justice 
Howell,  Mr.  JusUce  Perdue  and  Mr. 
Justice  Cameron  were  against  the  ap- 
plication of  Kelly,  and  Mr.  Justice 
Richards  and  Mr.  Justice  Haggard 
favoured  a  new  trial.  An  appeal  will 
be  enured  Immediately  in  tha  Supreme 
Court  of  Canada. 

Chief  Justice  Howell,  delivering  the 
Judgmennt,  said  tha  charge  of  obtaining 
money  by  conspiracy  had  been  proper- 
ly laid  and  it  was  no  defence  for  Kelly 
to  aay  ha  could  not  ha  extradited  on 
that  charge.  There  waa  evidence  to 
convict  Kelly  on  the  fifth  count  in  tha 
indictment,  -hut  it  waa  unwise  and  un- 
aafa  to  let  that  count  stand,  since  ha 
had  not  been  extradited  under  It.  This 
count  Lad  been  quashed,  hut  tha  chief 
Justice  aald  the  quashing  could  have  no 
effect  on  tha  trial,  since  all  the  evi- 
dence given  under  It  could  have  been 
given  under  tha  other  oeunta

CANADIAN  SOLDIERS  ADEPT 
IN  RAIDING  OF  TRENCHES 

"  Continued  Prom  Page  1 


the  German  watch  does  not  gend  up  a 
flare  for  a  minute  or  two,  so  much  the 
better.  If  be  does  and  aees  something 
la  moving,  look  out  for  the  menacing 
rattle  af  a  machine  gun,  and  keep  to 
the  ground  if  you  love  wallowing  ain 
duat  and  barbed  wire  ends. 


Our  chape  get  through  this  part. 
Then  come  the  quick  Jumps  Into 
German  trenches,  to  the  utter  conster- 
nation of  what  we  muat  calUits  right- 
ful owners.  Our  boys  remain  aa  cool 
aa  cucumbers,  but  as  fierce  aa  tigers. 
Frits  is  brave  enough,  but  Is  utterly 
nonplussed  in  a  moment  of  life  when 
lively  eye  and  ateady  nerve  were  never 
mors   essential. 

Up  nnd  down  the  trenches  our  men 
Jumped,  bombing  right  and  left  and 
maybe  giving  a  vigorous  bayonet 
thrust  Into  the  most  promising  quarter. 
It  ia  a  perilous  but  heartening  brief 
experience,  which,  aa  I  say,  comes  only 
our  chaps,  for  tha  German,  with  aJT 
bla  natural  bravery,  hae  no  stomach  for 
eueh  operations. 

The  other  night  our  boys  were  espe- 
cially pleased  with  the  results  inas- 
much as  they  managed  to  bring  back  a 
prisoner.  They  discovered  ^hlm  sham- 
ming death  in  a  trench  and  brought  him 
along  at  the  point  of  a  bayonet.  He 
came  readily  enough,  and  I  understand 
gave  ready  information  in  answer  to 
questions  which  confirmed  the  Cana- 
dian estimate  of  the  dispositions  facing 
them.  .  m 

Unfortunately,  this  kind  of  warfare  Is 
naturally  enough  productive  of  casual- 
ties to  the  attackers.  Tr  learned  after, 
wards  that  an  officer  who  took  part  in 
this  raid  will  lose  his  leg.  Three  men 
were  billed.  Their  bodies  were  brought 
back,  which  la  in  itself  a  great  feat, 
considering  that  they  had  to  be 
brought  across  "No  Man'a  Land"  under 
machine  gun  Are  of  the  enemy,  who 
thus  satisfies  himself  for  being  tor- 
mented by  nightly  enterprises  In  which 
he  cannot  retaliate. 


Traek  of  Prlta 
While  on  the  eubjeet  of  enemy  dls- 
poeitioaa  I  had  the  pleasure  af  meeting 
a  Toronto  corps  intelligence  officer  who 
gave  me  an  Insight  Into  the  marvellous 
aystem  of  tracking  Frlts's  every  dis- 
position. The  Canadian  headauarterj 
knew  every  turn  In  the  German  trench 
positions.  Photographs,  taken  from 
aeroplanes,  are  here  by  the  score.  They 
look  like  phntee  of  honeycombs,  with 
veins  running  through  them.  The  cells 
of  the  honeycombs  are  shell  holes.  The 
velna  are  the  lines  of  Canadian  and 
enemy  trenches. 

One  night  I  passed  through  Maple 
Copse  and  Sanctuary  Wood,  where  un- 
usually heavy  fighting  took  place  two 
months  ggo.  Many  of  our  men  are 
lying  there  now,  simply  burled  by  the 
crashing  down  on  them  of  our  trenches 
when  wrecked  by  artillery  flre.  Stumps 
and  roots  and  great  mounds  of  earth 
with  fragments  of  timber  and  Iron 
sticking  out,  now  stand  for  a  substan- 
tial line  of  fortifications  which  once  ran 
through  Sanctuary  Wood. 

I  heard  the  etory  of  an  incident  that 
occurred  Just  before  death  came  to  Gen. 
Mercer.  He  was  paaslng  along  these 
trenches  Just  before  the  great  German 
attack.  Turning  a  corner  he  met  a 
man,  who  instantly  sprang  to  attention. 
The  over-watchful  sniper  made  him  pay 
fuU  penalty  for  hla  respect,  for  he  fell 
with  a  bullet  through  hla  head  at  the 
feet  of  Gen.  Mercer.  An  eye-witness 
who  told  me  this  added  that  the.  Gen- 
eral was  so  affected  ha  wept.  Every- 
body out  here  speaks  of  him  with  ten- 
der regret,  which  will  certainly  aur- 
prlse  no  one  who  knew  him. 


A  colonel  made  an  Interesting  state- 
ment regarding  Mapje  Copaa  and  Sanc- 
tuary Wood.  Tha  land  about  this  part 
Of  the  battlefront  may  ba  purchased 
for  a  couple  of  hundred  dollare  an  acre. 
"Would  J  t  not  be  appropriate,"  aald  the 
Colonel,  "for  Canada  to  purchase  .this 
quarter,  where  so  many  of  her  soldiers 
lie  In  unknown  graves?  The  Idea  at 
any  rata  Is  worth  hearing  in  mind."  , 

Gen.  Turner  wag  anxious  to  give  Can- 
ada his  opinion  of  the  French-Canadian 
battalions.  He  aaya  no  finer  natural 
soldiers  ever  fought  for  the  Empire. 
"There  are."  he  aald.  "some  people  who 
speculate  what  might  happen  If  trouble 
arose  between  the  French  and  other 
Canadians.  Well.  It  would  be  a  terrible 
thing  for  the  ether  parte  of  Canada  to 
imagine  they  would  have  aa  easy  Job 
In  dealing  in  their  own  way  with  such 
men  aa  are  now  serving  with  me." 

I  will  leave  It  at  that,  aad  aaarely 
add  that  Gen.  Tumor  was  meet  em- 
phatic ta  what  ha  said.

WASHINGTON.  Aug  IS—  President 
Wilson's  plan  far  settlement  af  tha 
railroad  strike  waa  accept- 
by  the  representatives  Of  tha 
ad  taken  under  consider- 
ation by  the  officials  of  the  railroads, 
with  many  Indications  that  they  would 
reject 'It    tomorrow.     ' 

The  ward  casae  from  the  managers  to-, 
night,  however,  that  they  had  ranched 
no   definite   declaioa. 

With  tha  situation  thua  apparently  at 
a  doadtech,  tha  only  nana  ta  tha  aUu- 
atiea  lay  in  the  reports  that  taa  rail- 
read  officiate  might  suggest  counter- 
proposals, forming  the  basis  of  a  settle- 
ment, or  that  ana  aide  or  the  ether 
might  recede  from  the  present  position. 

Thirty -one  presidents  aad  ranking  of- 
ficiate of  the  great  railroads  received 
today  from  the  President  his  plan  for 
tha  adoption  of  an  eight-hour  day,  with 
regular  pro-rata  pay  for  overtime,  and 
the  creation  of  a  federal  commission  to 
investigate  the  collateral  Issues.  They 
told  him  they  would  like  to  consider  tha 
question,  and  would  report  back  to- 
morrow with  the  committee  of  man- 
agers  which  hae  been  conducting  nego- 
tiations. 

At  tbe  aame  time,  the  general  com- 
mittee of  StO  representatives  of  the 
employees  were  approving  the  Presi- 
dent's plan  by  a  large  majority,  and 
aooa  after  tbe  railroad  officials  left  the 
White  House  tha  four  heads  of  the 
railroad  brotherhoods  despatched  to  tbe 
President  abetter  notifying  him  of  tha 
vote.  The  employees'  committee  will 
remain    here   at   the    President's    call. 

While  the  railroad  officiate  would 
make  no  formal  statement,  they  re- 
peated dearly  therr  objection  to  Mr. 
awiteen'g  plan,  and  Indicated  that  they 
would  prese  further  their  offer  to  ar- 
bitrate all  tha  points  at  issue. 

In  spite  of  these  developments,  it  was 
reported  the  officials  might  suggest  a 
counter-proposal  based  on  tha  accep- 
tance of  an  eight-hour  day  and  arbi- 
tration Of  all  Other  points  instead  of 
the  Investigation  by  a  federal  commie, 
alon  proposed  under  the  Presidents 
plan.  It  was  stated,  however,  that  the 
officials  had  reached '  no  definite  de- 
cision on   the  future  course.

OTTAWA.  Au|.  18.— An  impression 
which  hex  toon  dlsaemlneted  aa  tto 
roault  of  a  news  Item  published  «en- 
erally  In  Canadian  papers  from  Otta- 
wa, that  a  soldier  could  not  to  a  de- 
aarter  until  bis  battalion  went  over- 
seas, was  vigorously  contradicted  at 
the  Mil  It  la  Department  today.  Tha 
dispatch  In  question  waa  apropos  of  a 
police  court  case  whose  outcome  waa 
stated  to  prove  thie  contention,  an  or- 
der-ln-councll  governing  desertion 
which  waa  paaaed  last  January  being 
cited  aa  authority. 

It  waa  stated  at  the  Mllltla  Depart- 
ment today  that  aucb  ia  not  the  caaa, 
and  that  a  soldier  who  absents  himself 
for  a  sufficient  period  without  leave  is 
a  deserter,  whether  his  battalion  is 
overseas  or  at  home.  F.  B.  McCurely. 
parliamentary  under-aecretary  of  the 
Department,  stated  today  that  the  po- 
lice court  case  In  Ottawa  referred  to 
was  decided  solely  In  the  absence  of 
proof  called  for  by  the  order-in-oouncll 
of  last  January. 

Clause  1  of  this  order  Is  to  the  fol- 
lowing effect: 

"Kvery  man  of  tbe  active  mllltla  of 
Canada,  and  every  soldier  of  the  Can- 
adian overseas  forcea,  who  absents 
himself  from  tbe  corps  or  unit  to 
which  he  belongs  without  the  leave  of 
the  commanding  officer  is  guilty  of  an 
offence  and  liable  upon  summary  con- 
viction under  the  provisions  of  Part 
IS .  of  the  Criminal  Code  to  imprison- 
ment with  or  without  hard  labor  for 
a  term  not  exceeding   two   years." 

Some   misunderstanding   also   appears 


to  have  arisen  as  regarde  the  power  of 
commanding  officers  of  units  to  sen- 
tence men  to  Jail  for  being  absent 
without  leave.  Thla  baa  been  done  in 
the  Ottawa  military  district  and  other 
places  aa  well.  According  to  the 
Mllltla  Department,  however,  no  com- 
manding officer  has  such  power.  He 
may  give  a  soldier  28  days  detention 
for  being  abaent  without  leave,  but 
cannot  Imprison  him.  A  magistrate 
muat  pass  the  sentence.  Since  war 
broke  out  special  permission  haa  been 
given  magistrates  to  try  cases  of  ab- 
sence without  leave. 

It  was  also  atated  at  the  Mllltla  De- 
partment today  '  that  parents  of  boys 
who  have  enlisted  in  the  expeditionary 
forcea  who  appear  at  the  last  moment 
to  claim  their  offspring  will  not  be  al- 
lowed to  do  so  in  future.  The  matter 
has  been  gone  into,  and  Judge  Advo- 
cate-General Smith  has  given  his  de- 
cision that  a  boy.  If  regulgrly  enlisted 
and  in  receipt  of  pay,  cannot  be  with- 
drawn from  the  ranks  by  request  of 
his  parents  or  other  persona  A  num- 
ber of  cases  of  this  kind  have  occurred 
since  the  war  started. 


MANITOBA.  CROPS      , 

Meporto  of  Correspondents  Show  Bather 
tight  Yield  of  Wheat  and  Much 
Bast 


WINNIPEG,  Aug.  18.— The  Free  Press 
today  presents  its  fourth  crop  report 
from  its  local  correspondents.  Thla 
time  the  reports  deal  only  with  condi- 
tions in  Manitoba. 

Sixty,  points  were  queried,  and  re- 
plies have  been  received  from  52.  The 
first  question  asked  was  as  to  percent- 
age of  runt  damage.  One  point  only 
reported  "none";  eleven,  "very  bad"; 
three  report  10  per  cent;  four  report 
20  to  35  per  cent;  eleven  report  60  per 
cent;  three  report  60  per  cent;  and 
thirteen  70  per  cent  and  over,  running 
aa  high  as  90  per  cent  damage  from 
rust. 

The  replies  as  to  average  of  yield  are 
even  more  varied.  One  point  reports 
25  to  30;  two  points,  20  to  25;  four 
points,  18  to  20;  and  the  other  yields 
varying  from  3  bushels  to  16,  with  7  to 
10,  bushels  In  the  lead. 

Apparently  .about  40  per  cent  of  the 
wheat  crop  which  will  be  cut  la  down. 
With  regard  to  grade,  four  points  only 
claim  any  No.  i  Northern,  while  others 
run  3  and  lower;  4  to  5,  3  to  8,  and  8  to 
feed. 

Korty-four  points  report  that  oataare 
rilling  "well,  fair,  or  good."  A  few 
points  report  filling  "slow,"  and  one 
or  two  points  report  rust  in  oats. 

There  Is  considerable  ruat  reported 
In  late  barley,  but  the  early  barley  ia 
indicated   as  a   good   fair  crop. 

Absolutely  only  one  point  reports 
froat,  and  that  only  alight  In  character. 

Twenty-seven  points  report  a  short- 
age of  help;  ten  points  report  a  suffici- 
ent supply,  and  six  points  report  plenty 
of  hands. 

Threshing  is  reported  as  under  way 
at  a  few  points.

adopted  by  the  Boy  Scouts  of  Ontario 
to  work  In  the  berry  fields,  taking  as 
their  motto,  "every  berry  a  bullet,"  is

FLY  PADS 


Will  Pay  Visit  to  Troops  at 
Pattle  Front— Major  Gault 
Still  in  Hospital— Praise  for 
Canadian  Tariff, 


MONTREAL,  Aug.  18—  The  Gaxette  s 
correspondent  in  London  cabled  last 
night: 

"MsLjor-General  Sir  Sam  Hughes 
creased  to  France  today  (Thursday) 
accompanied  by  Lord  Brook,  Lord 
Rothermere,  Sir  Max  Altken  and  Major 
Bassstt.  The  party  was  carried  across 
In  a  destroyer.  The  Minister  will  ar- 
rive at  the  front  at  an  important  mo- 
ment for  the  Canadian  corps,  and  he 
will  have  the  opportunity  of  seeing  the 
troops  which  hs  reviewed  recently  in 
England. 

"N.  W.  Bowel!,  leader  of  the  Ontario 
Liberal  Opposition,  bad  the  Canadian 
journalists  in  London  as  his  guests  at 
tea  today  at  the  Savoy.  Discussing 
the  new  recruiting  methods,  which  the 
cables  report  as  just  adopted,  Mr. 
Kowell  agreed  that  the  half  million 
men  which  Canada  undertook  to  send 
to  the  aid  of  the  Mother  Country 
should  be  provided,  but  he  doubted  if 
this  could  be  accomplished  unless  a 
more  systematic  use  of  feminine  labor 
were  adopted  in  Canada,  aa  in  England 
and  Franca 

"Major  Hamilton  Gault,  of  the  Prin- 
cess Patricias,  is  still  abed  in  the  hos- 
pital, where  be  recently  underwent  a 
second  operation.  He  waa  cheery  look- 
ing when  visited  by  tbe  correspon- 
dent, and  said  he  felt  well.  Regarding 
all  military  matters  he  was  silent,  and 
accepted  his  own  lot  as  'all  in  the  day's 
work.'  He  added  that  his  future  was 
uncertain.  He  is  desirous  of  returning 
to  the  front.  The  Major  thought  he 
would  not  be  called  on  to  face  the  med- 
ical board  again  far  several  weeks. 

"Lieut.  R.  E.  Kingsford,  son  of  a 
Toronto  magistrate,  is  in  Wandsworth 
Hospital  suffering  from  wounds  in  the 
leg  and  foot,  the  result  of  a  grenade 
accident  He  waa  an  Instructor  in  the 
flrat  division,  and  "while  ao  engaged  a 
grenade  exploded,  injuring  himaelf  and 
two  companions. 

"Speaking  at  a  farewell  luncheon  In

Australian  auger  convention  represen- 
tative, and  Hanbach  Parker,  chairman 
Of  the  British  Empire.  Producers'  As- 
sociation, expreased  the  opinion  that 
the  Canadian  tariff  as  a  scientific 
tariff,  was  second  to  none  In  the 
world.  Agents-General  Pelletier,  of 
Quebec;  Itetd,  of  Ontario;  Howard,  of 
Nova  Scotia,  and  Reid,  of  Alberta, 
were  among   those   present." 


Allies'  Aviators^  Tly  Freely, 
While  Germans  Are  Kept  in 
Check — Enemy  Expected  to 
Try  Counter-Offensive. 


WITH  THE  FRENCH  ARMIES  ON 
THE  SOMME,  Aug.  17,  via  London.  Aug. 
18. — Perhaps  the  clearest  and  moat  Im- 
portant advantage  the  Allies  have  had 
in  the  Somme  offensive  is  the  dominant 
superiority  of  their  air  service. 

It  was  an  essential  part  of  the  plan  of 
the  French  general  staff  that  thla  advan- 
tage should  be  gained  at  the  outset,  for 
the  German,  when  he  la  driven  out  of 
the  sky,  is  half  blinded  when  the  big 
guns  commence  their  destructive  can- 
nonade of  the  German  trenches. 

Therefore  squadrlllas  of  aeroplanes 
were  sent  forward  to  bring  down  or 
drive  back  the  German  aviators  and  de- 
stroy their  sausage  obaervatlon  balloons. 
Both  sorts  of  raida  were  carried  out 
with  the  utmoat  daring  and  aucceaa  be- 
fore the  infantry  advance  began.  The 
familiar  drachen  bad  been  either  do* 
etroyed  or  hurriedly  hauled  down,  and 
the  once  formidable  German  pilots  dared 
not  ahow  their  noaea  over  the  French 
linea  In  five  days,  on  the  British  and 
French  fronts,  fifteen  captive  balloons 
had  been  destroyed.  Meanwhile,  the  Al- 
lies' other  squadrlllas  were  ceaselessly 
sngaged  in  their  several  tasks  of  bom- 
bardment or  obaervatlon  over  the  Ger- 
man positions. 


That  such  an  Important  advantage 
should  be  seised  is  comprehensible.  It 
is  more  difficult  to  understand  how  it 
has  been  maintained.  The  German  avia- 
tors do  not  lack  courage,  though  they 
are  lesa  daring  than  the  French.  Many 
of  the  tost  German  aviators  have  been 
killed,  while  others,  no  doubt,  are  being 
kept  on  tbe  Russian  front,  for  a  war  of 
movement  requires  air  scouts  more  ur- 
gently then  the  sisgs  warfare  ef  the 
west.  Whatever  the  explanation  may 
be,  the  fact  Is  beyond  doubt 

At  one  point  on  the  Senterre  plateau 
23  French  sausages  were  counted,  drag- 
ging at  a  heifht  upon  their  cables,  and 
only  two  that  could  be  German,  of  which 
one  was  doubtful.  French  aeroplanes  of 
all  types  came  and  went  on  their  patrol 
duties  with  tto  freedom  of  pigeons  over 
a  farm  yard,  but  if  there  wee  any  com- 
bat In  the  air  it  did  not  take  place  over 
the  French  Unas, 

At  one  of  their  many  aviation  parks 
the  correspondent  was  deeply  Impressed 
by  tto  Immense  progress  made  during 
the  war  oa  every  side  of  this  enterprise, 
under  the  stimulus  of  military  necessity 
and  Individual  skill  and  pluck.  The 
technique  of  the  different  types  of  aero- 
planes and  of  their  engines  and  machine 
guns  is  beyond  me,  bat  tto  handsome

of  the  Mope  Mountain*  Thoao  ajoun- 
ulas  ware  for  a  tea*  time  thought  to 
be  impassable  by  a  railway,  but  a  way 
through  them  waa  found,  and  eo  tha 
line  waa  extended  to  the  ahore  of  tha 
Fraaar,  'where  a  wonnectlen  waa  made 
by  bridge'  with  tha  Canadian  Pacific. 
and  thus  tha  Coast  to  ICootenay  Hall- 
way haa  become  an  accomplished  fact. 
It  brings  Nelson  within  a  little  mora 
than  fifty  hours  of  Victoria.  It  glvee 
Canada  a  now  transcontinental  rout* 
via  tha  Crows  Neat   Pass. 

The  completion  of  tbla  highly  Im- 
portant line  haa  bean  brought  about 
without  any  flourish  of  trumpets.  One, 
who  recalls  tha  enthusiasm  with  which 
the  Provincial  and  Dominion  Govern- 
ments were  pressed  to  bring  about  tha 
construction  of  such  a  railway,  might 
have  bean  Justified  in  anticipating 
that  the  completion  of  tha  road  would 
have  been  marked  by  popular  demon- 
strations, but  nobody  baa  paid  any  at- 
tention to  it.  The  Conservative  ad- 
ministration went  at  it  In  a  business- 
like way  and  we  have  the  result  In  a 
railway  opening  a  region  rich  In  min- 
eral, agricultural  and  timber  wealth. 
The  coat  to  the  Province  has  been  not 
much  in  excess  of  a  million  dollars. 
It  la  an  undertaking  of  prime  import- 
ance carried  through  at  no  groat  coat 
to  the  public.

Tha  Liberals  never  weary  of  telling 
aa  at  tha  gardens  whloh  the  Cooderva- 
Uvee  have  laid  upon  the  shoulders  of 
all  ■airiiilag  geaaratSoas  by  aiding  in 
tha  construction  of  this  line.  This  la 
tha  same  old  eeag  which  the  Liberals 
aaag  whoa  tha  plans  for  the  eenstrne- 
tlon  of  tha  ^TTtatlsTt  Pacific  ware  an- 
nounced. What  madness  la  this,  they 
asked,  which  proposes 'to  saddle  all  suc- 
ceeding generations  of  Canadians  with 
tha  cost  of  a  road  that  will  not  pay  for 
tha  grease  on  Its  wheels,  and  all  be- 
a  wretched   Province    >at  on   tha 


Pacific  Coast  insists  upon  Its  pound  of 


have  almost  invariably  been 
thrown  back  with  enormous  losses  to 
tha  Germans.  There  Is  not  the  same 
persistence  of  attack  on  the  part  of 
tha  enemy  *,»  haa  been  noticeable  up 
to  recently.  Various  explanations  are 
offered  Cad  this,  One  of  them  being  tbat 
many  of  the  German  troops  are  new 
levies   of  rather  doubtful  value. 

In  tha  region  of  Verdun  the  offen- 
sive haa  passed  over  to  the  French  end 
the  enemy  Is  being  driven  from  the 
ground  acquired  at  tremendous  sacri- 
fice. We  are  Inclined  to  regard  this 
as  one  of  the  moat  blgniflcant  featuree 
in  the  Western  field.  Berlin  made  no 
secret  of  the  fact  that  the  attack  on 
Verdun  eras  Intended  to  be  decisive 
of  the  war.  Six  months  have  passed 
aince  the  Crown  Prince  hurled  hla  bat- 
talions forward  against  the  French  line. 
He  sacrificed  men  by  the  tens  of  thou- 
sands; now  he  has  lost  the  offensive, 
which  means  that,  ha  has  been  defeat- 
ed,' Tha  statement  la  made  that  he 
haa   beta  rather  severely   wounded. 

(While  nothing  in  the  wax  of  a  signal 
vtetory  is  reported  from  "the  Hasten* 
front,  Fatrograd  aays,  and  Berlin  does 
not  deny,  that  tha  Austro-German  at- 
tempts to  drive  back  the  Russians  In 
Oatlcla  haa  proved  a  failure.  When 
recording  the  capture  of  Jablonttsa  wa 
pointed  out  that  although  the  maps 
did  not  show  the  position  of  this  town, 
we  Inferred  from  tha  dispatches  that 
It  controlled  one  of  the  main  passea 
through  the  Carpathians.  This  view 
Is  borne  out  by  tha  fact  that  the  Rus- 
sians have  advanced  through  the  pass 
snd  captured  it  town  on  the  Hungarian 
side  of  the  Carpathians.  This  means 
that  can  of  tha  tints  of  communica- 
tion upon  which  the  Ausfrlana  have 
railed  haa  been  taken  and  the  way  is 
clear  far  an  advance  to  the  Hungarian 
Flaln  whenever  tha  Russians  deem  It 
advisable  to  undertake  one.

Those  Persons  who  were  living  In 
Victoria  twenty-five  years  ago  win  re- 
member the  constant  agitation  then  In 
progress  for  the  construction  of  a 
line  that  would  bind  thle  city  to  the 
Kootenay  country.  When  the  Victoria

tens  thought  that  the  beginning  of  this 
much  desired  work  had  been  made. 
Even  before  that  there  waa  strong 
pressure  exerted  to  secure  such  a  rail- 
way. Tha  much  talked-of  Pa  Cosmos 
scheme'  waa  to  provide  such  an  avenue 
>f  transportation,  and  soma  of  the  old-

In  the  City  Hall  to  arouse  public  opin- 
ion to. tha  point  of  demanding  that 
such  a  railway  should  be  built  Tha 
resolutions  passed  on  the/subject  Should 
make  quite  a  good  slsad  pamphlet. 
Railway  promoters  taekled  It:  the  Leg- 
islature passed  Acts  to  further  it.  If 
there  waa  one  thing  of  which  a  large 
•action  of  this  community  waa  con- 
vinced more  than  of  anything  alaa  it 
waa  that  tha  construction  of  such  '  a 
railway  would  moan  unbounded  pros- 
parity  to  Victoria;  but  It. waa  a  case 
af  hope  deferred  making  tha  heart  etek 
until  tha  Brat  Conservative  adminis- 
tration came  into  power  In  IMS. 
In  tha  early  days  of  the  McBrlde

It  has  been  well  pointed  out  by  an 
American  physician  who  has  been  en- 
gaged in  hospital  work  In  France  that 
the  Importance  of  the  work  now  being 
done  by  the  Franco-British  forces  can- 
not be  meaaured  by  yarda  nor  can  the 
time  when  the  Germans  will  be  driven 
from  France  be  arrived  at  by  compar- 
ing the  ground  token  from  them  with 
that  which  remains  In  their  hands.  He 
says  that,  while  the  Alllea  are  gaining 
Important  positions  and  breaking 
through  the  strongest  of  the  enemy 
defences,  their  groat  gain  Is  In  the 
destruction  of  the  morale  of  the  Ger- 
mans, who  from  having  been  convinced 
that  they  were  unconquerable  now  And 
thamsslves  driven  back  by  the  foea 
they  were  taught  to  despise.  The  tre- 
mendous efficiency  of  the  British  and 
French  artillery  Impressed  him  very 
much  and  must,  he  says,  have  a  demor- 
alising effect  upon  the  enemy.  Ha  la 
careful  to  say,  and  In  this  he  is  borne 
out  by  what  our  own  troopa  say,  that 
the  courage  of  the  German  private  sol- 
diers IS  hot  open  to  question,  but  they 
are  simply  overmaatered  by  the  terrlflo 
power  of  the  Allies.  He  is  Inclined  to 
think  the  war  wlU  not  end  before 
Spring,  because  he  thinks  the  Germane 
will  be  able  to  delay  the  advance  of 
the  Alllea,  but  he  has  no  doubt  At  all 
as  to  what  will  be  tba  Inevitable  re- 
sult He  thinks  the  Germans  will  not 
throw  up  their  hands  until  the  Allies 
draw  up  their  batteries  on  the  banks 
of  the  Rhine. 

Hla  hospital  work  seems  to  have  been 
confined  almost  exclusively  to  the 
French,  and  he  cannot  speak  too  high- 
ly Of  their  magnificent  spirit.  Ha 
failed  to  find  any  feeling  of  hatred 
against  the  Germans,  all  Other  senti- 
ments being  submerged  In  a  flood  of 
Intense  patriotism. 


A  few  dsye  ago  the  gentlemen  form- 
ing the  regular  Liberal  ticket  in  Vic- 
toria promulgated  what  thay  called  • 
platform  or  declaration  of  principles  or 
something  else  of  that  kind.  The' state- 
ment was  expressly  made  In  the  local 
newapaper  supporting  them  that  thay 
did  this  in  answer  to  the  claim  that 
tbey  stood  for  nothing.  Their  declara- 
tion really  supported  thla  contention, 
for  It  waa  aa  nearly  nothing  aa  could 
well  be  devised,  as  we  jnlnted  out  at 
the  time.  But  tba  Liberal  mountain 
after  labor  having  brought  forth  such 
a  ridiculous  mouse,  the  least  Its  fathers 
eould  hove  done  was  to  recognise  the 
infant.  It  waa  not  much  of  a  baby,  but 
they  might  at  least  have  said:  '•Tit 
a  poor  thing,  but  'tis  our  own."  But 
they  did  nothing  of  the  kind.  They 
have  a  vigorous  newspaper  champion, 
but  it  haa  not  yet  discovered  anything 
it  can  say  About  their  precious  offspring. 
They  held  a  meeting  la  victoria  Weat 
a  alght  or  two  after  the  baby  waa  born, 
but  tbey  aeem  to  have  forgotten  its  as* 
latence  for  they  never  mentioned  it 
They  talked  about  "plugging."  and  soma 
erroneous  statements  aa  to  the  coat  of 
the  Peoifle  Great  Eastern  and  the  sol- 
diers' vote.  Interspersed  With  some  ob- 
servations as  to  the  Innate  superiority 
of  Liberal  politicians,  waa  are  aa  aweet 
and  gentle  that  It  la  b\  wonder  some 
chariot  of  fire  doea  not  come  along  and 
cart  them  to  e  world  which  tbey  would 
adorn,  and  all  tba  while  the  poor  little 
baby  waa  thinking  to  itself: 
"If  I  aa  soon  was  to  be  done  for. 
What  oa  earth  waa  1  begun  forr 


Reports  from  all  over  the  country  aa 
to  the  chances  of  the  Conservative  can- 
didates at  the  approaching  elections  are 
of  the  moat  reassuring  character.  The 
party  is  united  and  determined  on  suc- 
cess, and  this  spirit  will  win. 


If  business  conditions  throughout  the 
Province  keep  on  Improving  at  the  pre- 
sent rate  of  progress  the  electorate  will 
have  the  best  of  reasons  for  desiring 
no  change  In  the  government  of  the 
country  for  the  next  fifty  years.

tee la  splendidly  organised,  and  with 
hard  work  from  now  on  to  election  day 
there  can  be  no  doubt  about  the  result 


When  Messrs.  Brewster  and  Mac- 
donald  get  through  telling  the  people 
of  the  Interior  how  badly  oft  they  are, 
they  can  come  to  the  Coast  cities  and 
denounce  the  shipbuilding  policy,  which

Messrs.  Brewster  and  Macdonald

of  discontent  against  the  government  to 
a  busy  people,  and  the  decision  of  the 
Issues  may  safely  be  left  In  the  hand  a 
of  the  latter.  Were  It  not  for  unmerit-

111  Brewster  and  his  colleagues  are 
making  a  valiant  effort  to  seise  tha 
reins  of  government,  but  the  Improved: 
business  conditions  throughout  the 
Province  are  assuredly  working  agalnat 
the  success  of  tbat  aspiration.  A  great 
majority  of  the  people  will  be  India- 
posed  to  reject  ah  administration  which 
"does  things"  and  Install  In  Its  place 
a  party  with  no  policy. 

The  provisions  for  taking  the  vote 
of  the  soldiers  are  simple  and  can  only 
be  used  Improperly  by  the  deliberate 
commission  of  a  crime  Tat  the  Lib- 
erala  have  no  hesitation  In  asserting 
that  they  will  be  improperly  uaed.  It 
ill  becomee  the  party  responsible  for 
the  Vancouver  "plugging"  iniquities  to 
charge  any  ana  with  Intended  dishon- 
esty. 

Business  conditions  throughout,  the 
Province  are  not  responsive  to  the  evil/ 
prognostications  of  Mr.  Brewster  and 
hla  colleagues.  The  Liberal  leaders 
started  their  blue-ruin  cry  too  late.  The 
Bowser  government's  policies  got  ahead 
of  them,  and  aa  era  of  development  and 
progreaa  In  alt  linea  of  activity*has  act 
In  whloh  proves  the  fitness  of  the  pre- 
sent administration  for  another  term  In

Xr.  1.  ■■  Fooley 's  Meeting 
Sir, — I  have  Just  read  in  your  editorial 
page  what  purporta  to  be  a  correct  ac- 
count of  an  Incident  at  Mr.  Pooley'a 
political  meeting  at  Sooke  on  Augusts. 
Your  account  Is  untrue.  I  had  never 
doubted  before  that  the  chairman,  _Mr. 
Miller  Higgs,  and  Mr.  H.  Fooley  were 
men  of  honor,  who  would  acorn  to  take 
an  unfair  advantags  of  an  opponent  by

>  Prohibition 

"sir,— I  have  r^A  with  a  great  deal  of 
Interest  the  literature  with  which  this 
c'.ty  Is  being  flooded  by  the  Liquor 
Merchants'  Protective  Association  in  its 
eflort  to  confuse  the  minds  of  the  elec-, 
tors,  and,  by  causing  dissension  In  the 
ranks  of  the  Prohibitionists,  to  defeat 
the  IS.  C.  Prohibition  Act 

It  is  unfortunate  that  the  appeal 
must  be  made  to  ao  many  different 
people  and  on  SO  many  different 
grounds.  Under  the  circumstances,  it 
la  not  surprising  that  some  strange  In- 
consistencies should  occur.  Hera  to 
only  one  instance,  although  a  glaring 
one.  In  The  Daily  Colonist  for  Sunday, 
Auguat  13,  appeared  a  display  adver- 
tisement, inserted  by  an  anonymous 
advertiser,  whose  telephone  number  was 
atktad  to  be  4»Sv.  Thla  advertiser  gave 
ae  one  strong  reason  for  opposing  the 
present  British  Columbia  Prohibition 
Act,  that  it  means  "confiscation  with- 
out compensation."  In  another  place  In 
the  same  paper  the  electors  were  asked 
to  telephone  to  46S9  for  a  booklet  deal- 
ing with  the  "Truth  About  the  British 
Columbia  Prohibition  Act"  Aa  an 
elector.  I  did  so,  and  waa  surprised  to 
learn  from  this  booklet  that  'compen- 
sation will  be  paid.  If  the  Prohibition 
■till  Is  carried,  compensation  is  Inevit- 
able. What  a  'gold  brick'  for  the  elec- 
tors Of  British  Columbia— millions  of 
cellars  for  compensation,  but  nothing 
Uke  prohibition  obtained."  If  tbla  Is 
tbe  truth,  what  is  to  be  said  of  the 
other  statement.  Both  came  from  the 
same  office 

For  tha  benefit  of  those  who  may  not 
know  the  true  situation,  I  wish  to  aay 
that  neither  statement  is  absolutely 
correct.  The  passing  of  the  British 
Columbia  Prohibition  Act  does  not  mean 
the  payment  of  millions  of  dollars  for 
compensation,  because  tbe  British  Co- 
lumbia Prohibition  Act  contains  no 
mention  of  compensation.  It  haa  been 
promised,  however,  that  the  matter  of 
compensation  will  be  referred  to  a  Ju- 
dicial commission,  which  will  report  to 
the  Government  whether  or  not  there  Is 
a  legal  ground  for  compensation,  and  if 
not  whether  the  circumstances  are  such 
that  relief  measures  should  be  token  by 
the  Government  and  particulars  of  audi 
measures.  It  ■  will  be  aeon,  therefore, 
that  the  matter  of  compensation  or  no 
compensation  haa  not  been  decided  one 
way  or  the  other,  and  will  net  be  do- 
cided  until  after  the  commission  has 
reported.  x

MILITARY  CROSS 

AWARDED  OMCER 

Capt,  6,  Chalmers  Johnstone, 
of  the  2nd  C.M.R,,  Com- 
manded Battalion  Through 
Heavy  Engagement, 


capt.  o.  CHAumna  johnbtonk 


Capt  o.  Chalmers  Johnstone,  who 
will  be  remembered  locally  as  the  ad- 
jutant of  the  Snd  Canadian  Mounted 
Rifles,  has  been  awarded  the  Military 
Cross,  according  to  private  advices  re- 
ceived hare.  It  also  is  learned  that  two 
other  officers  of  the  same  unit  have 
been  honored  similarly,  namely,  Lieut 
A.  V.  Evans,  who  formerly  was  of  En- 
derby.  B.  C,  and  Lieut.  Worsley,  who 
left  Victoria  In  command  of  the  Yukon 
section  of  the  Snd  C.  M.  H.  Having; 
been  wounded,  the  latter  returned  to 
England,  and,  on  his  recovery,  was 
transferred   to   the   Engineers. 

While  no  Information  has  been  re- 
ceived as  to  the  circumstances  attend- 
ing the  feats  of  the  three  last  men- 
tioned, something  has  been  heard  of 
Capt.  Johnstone's  services.  When  the 
Snd  C.  M.  R.  was  reorganised  In  Eng- 
land, Capt.  Johnstone  was  given  com- 
mand of  "D"  Company.  That  he  pos- 
sessed. In  an  exceptional  sense,  the 
characteristics  of  a  leader  was  evi- 
denced first  during  the  recent  heavy 
fighting  on  the  Tpres  salient. 

Brigadier-General  Williams  was  cap- 
tured by  the  Germans  and  his  duties 
as  brigade  commander  temporarily  fell 
on  the  shoulders  of  Lieut-Colonel  Bott, 
O.  a  of  the  Snd  C.  It  R.  With  this 
change  Capt.  Johnstone  assumed  com- 
mand of  the  Snd  C.  If.  R.  and  a  part  of 
another  Canadian  unit.  For  eighteen 
hours,  and  throughout  a  very  severe 
engagement  he  discharged  the  respon- 
sibilities thus  suddenly  devolving  on 
him  with  entire  satisfaction.  After  the 
'  battle  he  was  appointed  second  In  com- 
mand of  the  Snd  C.  M.  R.  and  also  Is 
performing   the  duties  of  adjutant

One  of  the  first  of  the  British  Col- 
umbians to  leave  for  the  front  when 
the  call  to  arms  came  In  August  two 
years  a*o.  Lieutenant  William  C.  Mar- 
ston, then  a  private,  has  brought  honor 
to  this  Province  by  his  heroio  conduct 
at  the  front  has  secured  promotion  on 
the  field,  and  today  Is  recovering  from 
wounds  In  a  private  hospital  In  London. 
Far  his  gallant  work  under  Are,  Lieu- 
tenant  Marston,  who  Is  a  member  of 
the  7th  Battalion,  won  the  D.  C.  M. 
last  year,  when  with  a  bombing  party 
he  entered  the  enemy's  trenches,  took 
twelve  prisoners  and  returned  with 
valuable  Information.  Early  this  year 
he  secured  his  commission  and  shortly 
afterwards  he  again  distinguished  him- 
self, this  time  winning  the  coveted 
Military  Cross. 

Word  received  from  England  by  his 
friends  here  stated  that  last  month, 
during  the  severe  fighting,  In  which  his 
battalion  was  engaged,  he  received  a 
number  of  wounds  in  the  head  and  legs, 
none  of  which  are  serious.  It  is  ex- 
pected he  will  be  soon  about  again  and 
back  on  the  firing  line. 

Lieutenant  Marston  was  formerly  en- 
gaged In  British  Columbia  as  a  land 
surveyor  and  has  many  friends  here 
who  will  rejoice  to  learn  of  the  dis- 
tinction he  has  gained  and  be  pleased 
that  his  Injuries  will  not  prove  serious. 


CAUGHT  BY  MACHINE 

GI  IN  M  ATTACK 


Lce.-Cpl.  Wilderspin,  Brother 
of  Mr,  E,  Wilderspin,  of 
Victoria,  Describes  Night 
Charge  on  German   Lines, 


Lance-Cpl.  Arthur  Wilderspin,  of  the 
Shropshire  Light  Infantry,  who  was 
wounded  recently  In  action,  writes  an 
interesting  account  of  his  experiences 
to  his  brother,  Mr.  Ernest  C.  Wilder- 
spin,  of  the  Attorney-General's  Depart- 
ment. 

He  says: 
No.  6  Ward,  5th  V.  A,  Hospital,  Exeter. 
28,   7,  '1«. 

"I  suppose  you  have  already  heard 
from  mother  that  at  last  I  managed  to 
get  in  the  way  of  Frits'  "Iron  rations," 
and  am  now  comfortably  installed  in 
the  above  named  hospital  for  repairs. 
Before  I  proceed  further,  I  may  say  I 
am  Improving  satisfactorily  and  expect 
shall  soon  be  convalescent.  Already  I 
can  get  up  for  afternoons  and  evenings 
and  tomorrow  I  go  for  my  first  outing, 
1.  e.,  a  free  pass  to  the  Hippodrome. 

"I  was  hit  by  a  bullet  In  the  middle 
of  the  chest.  Fortunately,  It  did  not 
go  deep,  otherwise  It  would  have  been 
'finis.'  But  providence  saw  fit  to  pre- 
serve me,  for  which  I  am  truly  thank- 
gal 

"I  was  hit  on  the  early  morning  of 
the  14th  (July).  We  were  advancing 
on  their  second  line  of  trenches  Just  In 
front  of  Montauban.  right  of  Marets 
Wood.  See  map.  Of  course  this  is 
the  part  where  the  new  advance  is  tak- 
ing place.  We  had  been  crawling  for- 
ward all  night,  and  waited  about  100 
yards  from  their  barbed  wire.  The 
guns  opened  out  about  3:30  a.  m.,  first 
to  smash  the  wire  snd  then  lift  to 
their  second  trench.  We  were  to  go 
over  the  first  trench  and  on  to  the  sec- 
ond. Unfortunately,  the  bombardment 
did  not  break  the  wire  on  our  Immedi- 
ate front  though  In  other  places  It  was 
smashed  to  smithereens.  So  our  fel- 
lows had  to  cut  the  wire  to  get  through. 
Meanwhile  we  were  being  knocked 
down  by  their  machine  gun  and  rifle 
fire,  and  it  was  here  that  I  was  hit 
before  I  had  a  chance  to  participate  in 
the  real  fighting. 

"However,  am  glad  to  get  off  so  lucky. 
I  managed  to  to  roll  Into  a  shell-hole 
for  cover  and  here  I  had  to  wait  for 
about  three  hours  before  the  firing  died 
down  and  I  was  able  to  get  back.  In 
the  meantime  they  were  sending  shells 
over,  not  to  mention  bombs  and  rifle 
grenades,  and  each  moment  I  expected 
to  he  my  last.  I  was  lying  on  a  dead 
man  and  had  one  on  each  side,  besides 
two  or  three  other  wounded  chaps,  all 
nearly  too  bad  to  help  each  other.  After 
a  while  I  made  up  my  mind  to  run  for 
It  though  my  wound  was  giving  me 
'socks,'  ae  I  crawled  forward  slightly 
and  than — up  and  ran  for  It  They  saw 
me  running  and  sent  some  bullets  after 
me,  se  X  dropped  into  another  shell 
hole  (they  were  blessings  In  disguise). 
I  continued  to  run  In  snatches  like  this 
till  X  found  myself  oat  of  their  eight 
behind  a  dip  la  the  around,  sa  I  took 
It  more  steadily  aad  eventually  found 
say  way  Into  oar  Sra—lng  station.  Bore 
I  gat  flrssaefi  that  la  say  wound— and 
had  a  rest  I  found  It  might  bo  hoars 
before  I  could  gat  earned  away  ea  a

about  is  o'clock  that  night  ws  moved

Here  we  were  put  fa  hospital  after  a

(fine  heat),  Bundsy.  I  p.  se.  of  the  16th, 
landed  Southampton  next  day  aad  final- 
ly rsaehsd  here  about  7  o'clock  that 
evening.  What  a  treat  It  was  to  get 
between  sheets  again!  I  couldn't  sleep 
the  first  two  nights. 


•  "Perhaps,  now  we  have  no  fear  of 
/censor,  I  may  tell  you  a  fsw  details  of 
my  time  In  trenches  aad  out  oa  rest 
Ws  landed,  as  you  know,  on  January 
14  th  at  Boulogne,  and  want  to  Staples 
nearby  for  a  week.  Then  we  took  train 
(cattle  trucks)  and  it  took  us  into  Bel- 
glum.  Got  out  at  Poperinghe  and 
marched  to  Ren-in-hults,  where  we  had 
our  camp  when  relieved  from  trenches. 
Ws  went  Into  trenches  at  St.  Eloi,  about 
two  or  three  miles  right  of  Tprea  As 
perhaps  you  remember,  after  about  a 
fortnight  tbe  battalion  went  for  a  rest. 
So  we  took  train  for  a  place  near  8t 
Omer,  North  France,  for  about  three 
weeks.  It  was  in  the  last  week  that  I 
had  that  attack  of  fever  or  influenza. 
Meanwhile  the  battalion  was  called  up 
again,  and  when  I  was  well  again  fol- 
lowed up  aad  found  them  at  the  camp 
at  Ren-ln-hulst  I  did  not  go  Into 
trenches  for  two  or  three  weeks,  doe- 
tor's  orders.  Next  time  I  went  In  It 
was  for  nearly  three  weeks,  and  we 
had  a  rough  time.  There  was  a  big  at- 
tack by  the  Scots  on  our  right  but  we 
did  not  go  'over  the  top'  with  them. 
We  exploded  five  mlnea  It  fairly  took 
us  off  our  feet,  it  was  an  awful  sight, 
and  about  100  of  our  guns  starting  at 
the  same  time.  I  have  never  heard  the 
like  for  noise.  They  shelled  us  like 
the  dickens,  but  we  only  had  a  few 
casualties,  though  I  think  the  'Jocks' 
lost  heavily.  When  we  came  out  again 
we  had  two  weeks"  rest  before  return- 
ing. After  that  we  kept  going  In  week 
In  and  week  out;  nothing  very  big  do- 
ing, though  It  was  often  'hot' 

"About  June  we  took  train  past 
Calais  and  Boulogne.  How  our  eyes 
wandered  towards  wood  old  'Blighty's' 
shores,  hut  It  wss  no  go.  When  we  got 
out  of  the  train  we  did  three  days' 
marching,  billeting  In  various  French 
towns  till  we  reached  Carnoy,  near 
Bray,  Just  behind  the  new  advanced  line 
which  had  been  taken  from  the  Hun  on 
July  1st.  We  were  here  for  a  week  till 
we  made  the  attack  on   the   14th." 


MILITARY  NOTES 


Sir  Frederick  Williams-Taylor  has  re- 
turned to  Canada  after  a  visit  to  Eng- 
land and  France.  At  the  front  he  vis- 
ited the  British  and  Canadian  battle 
lines  and  was  the  guest  of  Gen.  '  Sir 
Douglas  Halg  and  Qen.  Byng  In  turn. 
At  the  apex  of  the  Tpres  salient.  Sir 
Frederick  was  within  fifty  yards  of  the 
Germans.  "There."  he  said,  "I  found 
two  of  our  boys  of  the  Maritime  Prov- 
inces, keeping  guard.  They  were  splen- 
did fellows,  and  I  felt  the  country  was 
safe  in  the  hands  of  such  men."  While 
at  the  battlefront  Sir  Frederick  had  the 
thrilling-  experience  of  firing  several 
shells  from  the  big  guns  directed  at 
the  enemy's  trenches.  He  also  visited 
McGlll  Hospital,  whose  admirable  or- 
ganisation he  warmly  praised.  "I  was 
proud.  Indeed,"  Sir  Frederick  added, 
"to  find  that  there  were  Bank  of  Mont- 
real boys  everywhere  In  the  thick  of 
the  fighting." 

The  108rd  Battalion,  C.  B.  F„  Van-

Open  Air  Concert— The  open  sir  con- 
cert which  took  place  on  Wednesday 
last  In  the  grounds  of  Mr.  and  Mrs. 
Patrick.  Michigan  Street,  was  a  great 
success.  The  orchestra  was  in  fine 
tone  and  rendered  many  selections.  The 
young  ladles  and  gentlemen  were 
warmly  applauded  for  their  individual 
solos,  and  the  aketch  given  by  Mf.  Pat- 
rtcsr  caused  much  amusement.  Refresh- 
ments were  served  and  the  home-made 
candy  booth  was  well  patronised.  A 
pleasant  evening  ended  with  the  Na- 
tional Anthem. 

Soldiers  Voting—  Voting  under  the 
provisions  of  the  Military  Forces  Vot- 
ing Act  will  soon  be  under  way  along 
the  line  of  the  C.  P.  R.  between  Van- 
couver and  Laggan  at  polnU  where 
soldiers  are  on  guard.  Word  received 
here  yesterday  from  CapL  W.  J.  Cox, 
who  is  superintending  the  voting  at  all 
camps  outside  the  limits  of  the  Pro- 
vince but  within  Canada,  indicates  that 
the  voting  at  Camp  Hughes  will  start 
at  once.  It  was  believed  the  polling 
there  had  commenced  ere  this  but  the 
message  did  not  definitely  Indicate  the 
proceedings  are  as  yet  commenced,  it 
Is  not  expected  that  the  voting  at  the 
Sidney  camp  will  commence  for  two  or 
three  weeks. 

United  gam  Otft— All  chapters  of  the 
I.  O.  D.  E.  and  other  friends  who  have 
prepared  jam  for  ths  unltsd  jam 
gift  to  the  men  in  the  trenches  and 
hospitals  are  asked  to  leave  what  they 
have  ready  at  the  Municipal  Chapter 
headquarters,  713  Fort  Street  (next 
door  to  the  Sandrlngham),  aa  early  as 
is  convenient  next  week— between  the 
hours  of  10  a.  m.  and  |  p.  ro.  The 
provincial  secretary  and  committee  (by 
kind  permission  of  the  municipal  exe- 
cutive) will  receive  and  pack  the  Srst 
consignment  for  Immediate  shipment 
overman.  Due  notice  of  further  ship- 
moms  will  appear  later.  The  assist- 
ance of  one  or  two  gentlemen  would  bo 
greatly  appreciated  In  nailing  up  the 
cases. 

■squlmalt  Tax  SaOe— Yesterday  waa 
the  last  day  on  which  names  might  bo 
struck  off  the  list  issued  for  the  Es- 
quimau tax  sale,  which  Is  to  ha  held 
on  Friday,  September  1.  Consequently 
a  large  number  of  delinquents  called 
at  the  Municipal  Hall  to  pay  what  was 
owing  on  their  property  In  order  to 
avoid  having  to  pay  for  the  expenses 
of  the  sale  later.  The  sale  will  in- 
clude all  properties  on  which  the  taxes 
for  1914  have  not  been  paid,  but  the 
amount  for  1915  will  also  be  Included. 
The  outstanding  amount  for  the  two 
years  waa  yesterday  about  98,000,  al- 
though the  settlement  by  several  of  the 
delinquents  during  the  day  will  tend 
to  lessen  that  total  considerably.  On 
the  whole,  the  municipality  has  had 
little  difficulty  in  collecting  taxes  dur- 
ing the  past  year  or  two. 

Obtains  Posseseloa — In  the  County 
Court  yesterday  morning  Mrs.  Ellard 
succeeded  In  a  suit  for  possession  of 
premises  situated  on  Foul  Bay  and  oc- 
cupied by  Mr.  Thomas  McOuiness.  The 
evidence  Indicated  that  Mrs.  Ellard  had 
leased  the  lot  to  one  Hartley,  that  the 
latter  had  taken  the  defendant  Into 
partnership,  that  Hartley  had  sold  out. 
leaving  Mr.  McOuiness  in  full  control, 
and  that  this  spring  Mrs.  Ellard's  de- 
mand for  an  Increase  in  rent  from  IS 
to  910  a  month  had  been  refused.  Fol- 
lowing this  the  plaintiff  ordered  that 
either  the  additional  sum  be  paid  or  the 
defendant  vacate.  Mr.  M.  B.  Jackson, 
for  the  defendant,  claimed  that  a  build- 
ing had  been  constructed  and  that  it 
was  not  on  the  plaintiffs  property, 
but  on  the  beach,  and  that  the 
Dominion  Government,  more  than  any 
Individual,  waa  entitled  to  compensa- 
tion. The  court,  however,  thought 
otherwise,  and  Mrs.  Ellard  obtained  an 
order  giving  her  possession.  She  was 
represented  by  Mr.  8.  T.  Hanker.        ,

scribed oa  the  tablet  there,  which  ha* 
been  truly  named  a  Roll  of  Honor.  In 
this  aspect.  It  Is  an  Interesting  function. 
nothing  more.  But  there  is  something 
deeper  than  that.  Amongst  the  names 
we  eee  inscribed  before  aa  are  tbeee  of 
men  who  have  died  doing  what  has  been 
done  by  our  race  all  down  the  ages  of 
struggle  for  personal,  political  aad  so- 
cial freedom.  Tbeae  meat  have  done  no 
more  than  the  men  of  the  peat,  but  they 
have  done  no  less.  They  lie  probably 
la  unmarked  graves.  In  foreign  lands.  It 
ia  a  peculiar  elrcumetaace  that  Britons 
have  fought  and  won  their  principal 
rights  for  constitutional  liberties  and 
privileges  In  foreign  soil,  so  that  while 
in  this  present  world-wide  war  against 
the  last  remaining  claim  to  the  divine 
right  of  kings  to  rule  autocratically  and 
despotically,  many  of  our  lads  have 
fallen  In  widely  scattered  portions  of  the 
earth,  the  history  of  the  Briton  *  deter- 
mination to  be  a  slave  is  merely  repeat- 
ed on  a  more  stupendous  acale.  Thia  la 
only  a  little  corner  of  the  great  Empire 
of  which  we  are  a  part,  and  the  names 
on  that  tablet  are  only  an  Infinitesimal 
few  of  the  countless  thouaanda  who  have 
marched  away  to  tboae  blood-soaked  bat- 
tle fields,  but  they  are  undying  evidence 
of  the  devotion  which  the  Briton  haa  for 
his  form  of  government,  of  the  love  of 
freedom  Inherent  In  every  man  and  wo- 
man living  under  that  form  of  govern- 
ment, and  the  fact  that  no  nation  or 
combination  of  nations  can  attack  our 
liberties  and  our  rights,  even  Indirectly, 
and  aurvlve,  no  matter  what  the  coat  to 
ua  In  blood  and  treasure. 

"Gentlemen,  In  this  far-off  corner  of 
our  far-flung  Empire,  those  men's  namea 
call  to  ua  to  remember  our  priceless 
heritage  with  respect  and  gratitude  to 
those  who  have  cheerfully  and  willingly 
paid  the  hlgheat  price  that  man  can  pay 
to  preaerve  the  rights  handed  down  to 
ua  by  generations  of  men  who  have 
done  similarly  in  the  past."

shortly  afterwards,  following  the  oc- 
cupation of  druggist  for  a  short  time 
In  New  Westminster.  He  waa  burnt 
out  at  the  time  of  the  big  fire  In  that 
city  In  1898  and  came  to  Victoria  to 
live  with  a  married  daughter,  Mr*

A  glance  at  the  above  names  will  In- 
dicate the  magnificent  manner  in  which 
members  of  the  Vancouver  Island  Un- 
derwriters' Association  have  rallied  to 
the  call  of  Empire.  Many  of  tbe  names 
are  among  the  foremost  of  those  who 
have  brought  honor  to  Canada,  and 
some  of  them  have  made  the  supreme 
sacrifice.  Lieut.  H.  B.  Page,  who  waa 
killed  In  the  recent  heavy  fighting  at  the 
Tpres  salient,  was  secretary- treasurer  of 
the  Association  for  the  yeara  1910-1913,

The  importance  of  physical  training: 
and  bayonet  lighting  to  the  troops  be- 
ing trained  for  overseas  la  emphaalaed 
by  Major  K.  A.  Seely  Smith,  General 
Staff  Officer,  In  an  prdef  Issued  yes- 
terday from  the  headquarters  start  of 
M.  D.  No.   11.     It  reads   as  follows: 

Physical  training  and  bayonet  fight- 
ing, 

(a)  On  no  account  la  bayonet  fight- 
ing In  units  or  at  schools  to  be  carried 
out  before  breakfast,  unless  the  men 
have  had  something  substantial  to  eat 
before  parade. 

<b)  It  haa  been  brought  to  notice 
that  In  many  cases  recruits,  undergoing 
the  final  courae  of  preliminary  mua- 
ketry  training,  receive  no  Instruction  In 
physical  and  bayonet  fighting.  In  or- 
der not  to  Interfere  with  continuoua 
progress  which  is  absolutely  essential 
in  this  branch  of  training,  steps  will 
be  taken  to  ensure  that  recruits  re- 
ceive 1%  hours  physical  and  bayonet 
instruction  a  day,  whilst  carrying  out 
the  above  courae. 

(o)  Physical  and  bayonet  training 
will  similarly  be  carried  out  by  parties 
during  the  period  of  firing  the  general 
musketry  course. 

(d)  Weather  permitting,  canvas  deck 
ehoes  will  be  worn  for  all  physical 
training   work. 

(e)  When  units  have  been  warned 
for  overseas  the  men  ahould,  If  pos- 
sible, devote  2H  hours  dally  for  any 
period  preceding  embarkation  to  this 
training,  i.e.,  one  hour  to  physical 
training  and  1  H  hours  to  bayonet  fight- 
ing, also  If  apace  la  available  on  board 
ehlp,  two  hours  dally  should  be  de- 
voted  to  physical    training. 

(f)  All  auch  instruction  should  be 
carried  out  under  a  qualified  physical 
Instructor. 


Victoria  laat  night  made  Its  prelimin- 
ary organisation  to  render  financial  aid 
to  the  wounded  aallora  of  the  British 
navy    and   their   dependents. 

At  a  meeting  at  the  Alexandra  Club, 
attended  by  thirty  persons,  and  pre- 
sided over  by  Lieutenant-Governor  Bar- 
nard and  Mayor  Stewart,  a  committee 
mas.  appointed  to  constitute  the  Vic- 
toria and  Vancouver  Island  branch  of 
tha  British  bailors'  Belief  Fund,  after 
Mr.  M.  P.  Fennell.  Jr.,  secretary  of  tha 
Montreal  Harbor  Commiaalon  and  honor- 
ary secretary  of  the  fund,  explained  its 
objects.  On  the  platform  with  the 
Lieutenant-Governor,  Mayor  Stewart, 
and  Mr.  Fennell,  were:  Sir  CllvePhil- 
llpa  Woulley,  Commander  Shenton,  Mr. 
T.  C.  Sorby,  secretary  of  the  Inner  Har- 
bor Asaoclatlon,  and  Mr.  T.  Wright  Hill, 
of  the  Connaught   Seamen's   Institute. 

"There  Is  no  place  that  haa  a  warmer 
spot  In  Its  heart  for  the  Britlah  aall- 
ora than  Victoria."  aald  the  Lieutenant- 
Governor  in  opening  the  meeting.  "And 
because  of  thle  there  ia  no  question  that 
the  sympathy  of  the  people  of  Victoria 
is  enlisted  In  support  of  the  men  of  the 
Britlah  navy  that  has  been  doing  lta 
work  ao  silently  and   unostentatiously." 

"We  are  realising  more  and  more  the 
lmmeasureable  debt  we  Canadians  owe 
to  the  brave  men  who  have  held  the 
aeas  for  the  last'  two  years,"  aald  Mr. 
Fennell.  "The  British  sailors  have 
maintained  the  freedom  of  the  seas  for 
the  Allies,  and  what  specially  Inter- 
ests us,  have  made  possible  the  trans- 
portation of  200,000  Canadian  troops  to 
the    battlefields    of    Europe. 


THREE  PIANO  SNAPS!

Tha  first  class  In  Prench,  given  under 
the  direction  of  the  Y.M.C.A.  at  Sidney, 
will  be  held  on  Monday  evening  next. 
Mr.  Zlatlare,  a  member  of  the  331st  Bat- 
talion, who  haa  had  much  experience  In 
teaching  the  language,  will  take  charge 
of  thia  work  and  It  la  expected  that  a 
second  claaa  >w1Il  be  undertaken  very 
soon. 

The  aim  In  this  branch  of  the  asso- 
ciation s  activity  la  to  give  the  men  a 
knowledge  of  such  words  and  phrases  of 
the  language  aa  they  may  be  likely  to 
find  uaeful  when  they  go  overseas.  Al- 
together the  courae  will  consist  of  about 
ten  studies.  It  la  not  unlikely  that  a 
similar  claaa  In  German  will  be  given 
If  a  sufficient  number  can  be  found  who 
wlah  to  know  something  of  the  lan- 
guage of  the  enemy.  Thia  haa  been 
a  part  of  the  regular  programme  of  the 
T.  M,  C.  A.  la  the  camps  throughout  the 
Dominion  and   haa  always   been  In   de-

The  regular  Friday  nlghtjrenoert  waa 
not  held  thla  week  on  account  of  the 
fact  that  the  Red  Cross  Society  waa 
conducting  a  garden  fete  on  the  after- 
noon and  an  entertainment  on  the  even- 
ing of  that  day. 

Mr.  L.  P.  MeCallum,  who  haa  been 
spending  three  weeks  of  his  holiday  at 
the  "T"  establishment,  and  Incidentally 
rendering  very  valuable  voluntary  ser- 
vice, haa  returned  to  the  elty.  Rev!,  A.

"Pew  could  vlsualUe  the  brave  deeda 
these  men  have  performed.  They  have 
faced  every  danger  of  wind  and  tide  in 
order  that  the  Emplre'a  troops  and  com- 
merce might  pass. 

"But  in  carrying  out  these  duties, 
numbers  of  them  have  dieU  More  than 
4,000  men  of  the  mercantile  marine  have 
given  up  their  lives  that  the  Empire 
may  carry  on  its  taak.  while  the  toll 
paid  by  the  Royal  Navy  haa  been  far 
greater.  The  recent  battle  off  JuUand 
claimed  more  than  S.000.  in  addition  to 
which  many  men  have  been  disabled.  It 
may  aafely  be  assumed  that  the  great 
majority  of  the  victims  left  behind 
them  dependents  who  will  have  to  look 
to  public   or  private  aid  for  protection. 

"Realizing  thla.  the  Canadian  Britlah 
Sailors'  Relief  Fund  was  established  on 
June  13,  at  Montreal,  to  show  the  ap- 
preciation of  Canadians  for  the  great 
work  these  men  have  performed  in  the 
only  way  at  present  open  of  showing 
our  devotion,  and  that  by  money.  Al- 
though It  Is  not  at  present  possible  to 
take  the  work  of  naval  defence  upon 
our  .shoulders,  it  is  not  too  late  to  re- 
lieve the  people  of  England  of  part  of 
the  task  they  have  undertaken.  As 
Canadians  we  cannot  deny  the  potency 
of  the  appeal  for  these  men  who  have 
died  for  our  protection." 

Mr.  Fennell  explained  that  Montreal 
has  already  contributed  more  than 
♦  100,000  to  the  Fund,  Halifax.  $26,000. 
New  Brunswick,  |2,000;  and  Prince  Ed- 
ward Island.  $10,000.  Alberta  has  prom- 
ised to  raise  $00,000  before  November 
1.  The  fund  ia  under  the  patronage  of 
the   Duke   of    Connaught 

Mavjr'a  Strangle   Mold 

"Back  of  the  auccessful  prosecution 
of  this  war  on  land,  is  the  strangle 
hold  of  the  British  navy,"  aald  Sir 
Cllve  Phllllps-Woolley.  "if  |«  had  not 
been  for  this  work  of  the  navy,  i  be- 
lieve the  war  would  have  been  over 
long  ago  in  favor  of  our  enemies. 
There  Is  no  question  that  the  sympa- 
thy of  Victoria,  Esquimau  and  the 
whole  of  Vancouver  Island  is  with  this 
movement.  As  the  moat  naval  city  of 
Canada,  we,  of  Victoria,  take  special 
Interest  in  the  welfare  of  the  men  of 
the  navy.  There  Is  scarcely  a  name  on 
the  honor  roll  of  the  navy  that  we 
haven't  known  hare  aa  a  middy  or  in

'   rJli    CORN  FLAKES 


The  monthly  meeting  of  the  directors 
of  the  Provincial  Royal  Jubilee  Hospi- 
tal wee  bald  at  the  hospital  last  night. 
Those  present  were  Mr.  R.  8.  Day,  la 
the  chair;  Mrs.  Rhodes.  Mra.  Welter. 
Messrs.  F.  W.  Vincent,  O.  H.  Brown. 
W.  Blakemore.  8.  Lelaer,  A.  I.  Kirk- 
Patrick.  Andrew  Wright,  Dr.  Wesson. 
Leonard  Talt,  and  the  medical  super- 
intendent.   Dr.   Hasell. 

The  first  business  was  the  consider- 
ation of  Dr.  Basell's  resignation,  which 
baa  already  been  noted  tn  the  columns 
of  the  dally  press.  It  came  before  the 
Board  In  the  form  of  a  letter  addressed 
to  the  president,  as  follows: 

August  It,   191«. 
To  the  President  and  Members  of 
the  Board  of  Directors. 

Ladies  and  Gentlemen;  I  beg  to  place 
In  your  hands  my  resignation  as  Reel- 
dent  Medical  Superintendent  or  the 
Provincial    Royal    Jubilee   Hospital. 

I  have  been  offered  the  position  of 
Medical  Superintendent  of  tbe  Soldiers' 
Convalescent  Home  recently  established 
by  tbe  Dominion  Government  at  Es- 
quimau. 

I  feel  that  this*  change  will  relieve 
me  of  tbe  many  anxieties  as  to  health 
and  future  which  I  have  been  under  in 
recent  years,  due  to  long  hours,  almost 
constant  confinement,  and  the  greatly 
increased  number  of  aneethetlce. 

In  the  nineteen  years  during  which 
I  have  served  you  and  the  hospital,  I 
have  formed  many  nappy  associations, 
I  nave  loved  my  work  and  truly  tried 
to  do  my  duty;  but  the  time  has  come 
when  the  above  mentioned  considera- 
tions must  have  weight,  and  I  feel  euro 
you  will  accord  me  your  goodwill  In  my 
decision. 

EDWARD   HASELL. 

After  expressions  of  regret  by  every 
member  of  the  Board,  It  wae  moved  by 
Mr.  William  Blakemore.  seconded  by 
Mr.  Simon  Leiser,  and  unanimously 
resolved: 

Appreciate   Bervloes 

"That  the  Board  of  Directors  of  the 
Provincial  Royal  Jubilee  Hospital  in 
accepting  with  regret  the  resignation, 
after  nearly  twenty  years'  faithful  and 
efficient  service,  of  its  medical  super- 
intendent, Dr.  Hasell,  desires  to  place 
on  record  an  expression  of  apprecia- 
tion of  the  Invaluable  work  he  has 
performed  for'  the  Institution,  and  the 
unvarying  courtesy  with  which  he  has 
treated  all  with  whom  he  has  come  In 
contact.  The  directors  realise  that  It 
will  not  be  an  easy  task  to  find  a  suc- 
cessor who  will  acceptably  follow  so 
able  an  Incumbent  of  the  office  of  medi- 
cal superintendent  and  in  taking  leave 
of  him  and  tendering  him  hearty  con- 
gratulatlone  on  receiving  an  appoint- 
ment for  which  be  la  eminently  quali- 
fied instructs  the  executive  committee 
to  prepare  a  suitable  address,  express- 
ing these  sentiments  and  that  a  hon- 
orarium of  $600  be  given  and  to  ar- 
range for  its  presentation  to  Dr. 
HaaeU  at  a  convenient   time." 

Dr.  Hasell  thanked  the  Board  for  its 
kind  expressions  and  for  the  substan- 
tial evidence  of  its  appreciation.  He 
said  that  it  was  Impossible  for  him  not 
to  feel  a  pang  of  regret  at  severing  his 
connection  with  an  Institution  where  he 
had  epent  many  happy  days.  The  work 
had  been  strenuous,  but  It  had  been  a

Tbe  Six  Kirksmltb  Sisters  who  bead- 
line  the  Pantagee  bill  this  week  with  a 
classical  vocal  and  instrumental  mu- 
sical offering  which  le  freely  accredited 
with  being  the  finest  set  of  the  kind 
in  vaudeville,  were  given  the  distinction 
of  honorary  membership  to  the  Victoria 
Rotary  Club  at  their  meeting  on  Thurs- 
day of  this  week.  This  was  tn  recog- 
nition of  services  the  talented  girls  did 
for  tbe  club  at  the  International  Rotary 
Convention  at  San  Francisco  last  year. 
They  were  then  Introduced  to  the  as- 
sembled Rotartans  from  all  over  the 
continent  by  Manager  Rice  of  tbe  Pan- 
tagee Theatre  of  this  city,  as  repre- 
sentatives of  the  local  club.  Their 
playing  was  one  of  the  big  features  of 
the  convention.  They  are  now  bona 
fide  members  of  the  club  and  In  the 
future  will  give  great  credit  to  the  Vic- 
toria organisation  when  appearing  at 
similar  meetlnge  throughout  the  conti- 
nent. They  gave  a  most  delightful  mu- 
sical programme  in  connection  with 
Thursday's  Rotary  meeting. 

Their  act  has  been  a  tremendous  hit 
on  this  week's  bill.  It  shows  persist- 
ent application  to  technique  and  an  in- 
herent love  of  harmony,  and  their  offer- 
ing le  delightfully  staged  and  cos- 
tumed. This  week's  bill  as  a  whole 
has   been   most   acceptable. 

The  bill  for  next  week  at  the  Pan- 
tagee provides  many  novelties  and  un- 
usual entertainment.  There  are  five  un- 
equalled vaudeville  seta  snd  the  fif- 
teenth chapter  of  the  eensatlonal  Iron 
Claw  motion  picture  seriel.  As  for  the 
vaudeville  portion  of  the  programme, 
the  bill  is  headlined  by  Boyle  Wool- 
folk's  elaborate  musical  comedy  tabloid, 
"That's  My  Horse,"  with  Max  Bloom 
and  large  and  talented  company  of 
twenty  people.  "That's  My  Horse"  Is 
a  whole  show  In  Itself,  being  In  three 
scenes,  with  three  complete  changes 
of  scenery,  and  having  enough  .real 
talent  to  class  It  as  a  high  class  mu- 
sical comedy.  Mr.  Bloom  Is  a  comedian 
of  wide  reputation,  who  appears  on 
the  stage  as  the  owner  of  a  "comedy 
horse."  The  fun  and  merriment  starts 
with  the  rise  of  the  curtain  and  con- 
tinues for  a  full  half  hour  with  the 
laughs  coming  at  the  rate  of  about 
sixty  per  minute.  Another  comedy 
feature  this  week  Is  the  appearance  of 
Leonard,  Anderson  and  company  In  the 
Shakespearean  travesty,  "When  Caesar 
Cs  Her."  This  Is  a  burlesque  on  the 
three  historical  characters,  Caesar, 
Marc  Anthony  and  Cleopatra.  Alice 
Hamilton  Is  a  comedian  who  will 
offer  various  characterisations.  Maley 
and  Woods  present  "Feet  Fllrtology," 
and  Van  Cello  is  America's  representa- 
tive barrel  manipulator.

The  preeident  reported  that  he  and 
Mjr.  Blakemore  had  Interviewed  the 
Provincial  Executive  and  pressed  for  a 
definite  reply  to  the  application  of  the 
Board  for  a  grant  to  the  tuberculosis 
ward,  with  the  result  that  $2,000  had 
been  voted.  It  was  s  smaller  sum  than 
had  been  hoped  for,  but  when  the  ap- 
plication wss  made  the  estimates  hsd 
elready  passed  the  House  and  all  the 
hospitals*  grant  except  110,000  had 
been  disposed  of.  There  were  several 
urgent  demande  to  be  provided  out  of 
this  sum,  and  It  was  therefore  impos- 
sible to  let  the  Jubilee  Hospital  have 
more  than  the  amount  stated.  This  with 
$2,500  from  the  city  snd  $750  from  ths 
adjoining  municipalities  would  enable 
the  Board  to  build  a  new  tuberculosis 
ward.  The  grants  were  in  each  in- 
stance specified   to  be  for  this  purpose. 

It  wss  resolved  that  the  services  of 
Mr.  J.  C.  M.  Keith  be  secured  sa 
architect  to  prepare  the  necessary  plans 
and  that  the  preeident  appoint  a  build- 
ing committee  with  power  to  act.        .

PRESS  COMMENTS  ON 
POLITICAL  CAMPAIGN 


Promises   nuilUed. 

The  present  Oovernment  told  tbe 
people  of  British  Columbia  exactly 
what  It  intended  to  do,  and  the  statute 
books  show  that  it  has  done  what  was 
promised.  The  Premier,  when  he  took 
over  the  reins  of  ofllce,  told  the  electors 
that  his  intention  was  to  give  British 
Columbia  a  progressive  and  construc- 
tive ministry,  devoted  only  to  the  best 
Interests  of  the  Province.  He  told  them 
that  he  would  give  them  a  business 
government  and  he  has  done  what  he 
said  he  would  do. — Kamloops  Standard. 

Created  aa  industry. 

Had  it  not  been  for  the  efforts  of 
the  Oovernment,  fruit  growing  in  the 
Interior  of  British  Columbia  would 
have  been  today  in  the  same  primitive 
condition  that  exists  in  the  older  tilled 
sections  of  the  coast  districts.  The. 
money  spent  by  the  Oovernment  has 
been  well  spent.  It  has  created  an 
Industry.  It  has  made  a  people  pros- 
perous. In  estimating  what  the  Con- 
servative Oovernment  at  Victoria  has 
done  for  British  Columbia,  considera- 
tion should  be  given  to  the  construc- 
tive policies  of  Premier  McBrlde  and 
his  predecessor  in  the  agricultural  de- 
velopment field. — New  Westminster  Co- 
lumbian. 


Of  the  Agricultural  Credits  Bill.  Mr. 
Walters  says:  "This  Act  embodies  a 
principle  that  has  been  in  the  Liberal 
platform  for  years."  What  Liberal 
platform?  If  Mr,  Walters  means  only 
such  platitudes  as  "improvement  of 
agricultural  condition*"  his  statement 
Is  merely  disingenuous.  If  he  means 
anything  more.  It  Is  a  flagrant  mis- 
statement. Mr.  Walters  knows,  aa 
everyone  Knows,  that  the  sole  author 
of  that  constructive.  statesmanlike 
measure  Is  hie  Conservative  opponent. 
A.  Lucas.  To  deny  or  diminish  the 
credit  for  It  by  saying  "We  have  al- 
ways been  In  favor  of  something  like 
that"  Is  mere  impudence. — West  Tale 
Review. 


It  was  Indeed  a  flattering  reception 
that  Victorians  accorded  Mr.  Watkln 
Mills,  the  famous  Canadian  basso,  last 
evening,  on  the  occasion  of  Ms  recital 
at  the  ahnplooa  Hotel  ballroom.  Prob- 
ably the  biggest  audience  that  ever  at- 
tended a  musical  event  of  that  kind  la 
Victoria  turned  out  last  night,  there  be- 
ing over  six  hundred  people  seated. 

To  say  that  the  concert  was  held  la 
tbe  ballroom  would  hardly  be  adequate 
to  express  ths  magnitude  of  the  crowd 
present,  for  so  many  people  purchased 
tickets  that  It  was  found  impossible  to 
accommodate  them  all  in  the  ballroom 
and  consequently  the  doors  adjacent  to 
the  palmroom  were  opened  and  a  large 
number  of  chairs  were  arranged  there 
for  those  who  arrived  lata  Tbe  ro- 
tunda waa  also  well  filled  with  people 
desirous  of  hearing  as  best  they  could 
the  celebrated  soloist 

The  recital  wss  given  In  aid  of  the 
Esquimau  sub-committee  of  the  Red* 
Cross  Society,  which  is  sflUlated  with 
the  Victoria  and  district  branch.  While 
It  was  difficult  last  night  to  arrive  at  an 
exact  estimate  ss  to  how  much  money 
waa  taken  in.  it  is  believed  that  the  re- 
ceipts amounted  to  well  over  |300. 

The  fact  that,  besides  Mr.  Mills,  there 
were  only  two  other  soloists  Slide  tbe 
attendance  all  the  more  remarkable. 
The  audience  fully  appreciated  their 
efforts,  and  the  conclusion  of  each  num- 
ber on  the  programme  met  with  a  fur- 
ore of  applause.  It  was  a  splendid  wel- 
come that  Mr.  Mills  received,  fgtd  he 
responded  to  It  gracefully  by  giving  a 
superb  exposition  of  his  art. 

The  enviable  reputation  which  Mr. 
Mills  has  made,  snd  by  which  Victorians 
were  called  upon  to  Judge  him.  was  ably 
maintained  last  evening,  and  he  showed 
himself  to  be  fully  entitled  to  his  desig- 
nation as  the  Handeltan  singer  of  the 
century,  which  hss  been  given  to  him 
by  tbe  world'e  most  emir*ent  musical 
critics. 

Ooaaod  sad  Mondoleehoa 

Mr.  MUls  opened  his  pfogramtge  with 
selections  from  Oounod  and  Mendels- 
sohn, snd  these  numbers  gave  the  audi- 
ence an  opportunity  of  appreciating  the 
wide  range  and  versatility  of  his  vocal 
powers.  The  recitative  and  aria  "O  tu 
Palermo,"  by  Verdi,  were  rendered  In 
finished  style  "81  tra  1  ceppi"  demon- 
strated Mr.  Mills'  fine  ability  to  Inter- 
pret the  message  of  the  composer  In 
the  most  effective  manner  possible.  In 
this  and  in  the  succeeding  Handel  num- 
bers his  powerful,  resonant  and  flexible 
voice  was  heard  at  Its  best.  The  reci- 
tative from  Ads  and  Galatea  was  a 
aupreme  test  of  the  singer's  capability. 

In  the  lighter  numbers  Mr.  MUls* 
voice  was  also  splendidly  adapted  and 
the  applause  which  he  received  follow- 
ing their  rendition  proved  that  the  faot 
was  recognised  by  his  listeners.  In  the 
song.  "Hall,  Britain,  Hall!"  by  Mr.  J.  D. 
A.  Tripp,  in  which  he  was  accompanied 
by  the  composer,  Mr.  Mills  stirred  his 
audience  and  appealed  to  their  patrlotio 
spirit.  His  singing  of  the  other  songs, 
by  Sanderson.  Gould,  German.  Newton 
and  Bandford,  wss  no  less  an  achieve- 
ment. 

He  was  ably  assisted  In  his  recital  by 
Miss  Eva  Hart,  the  well-known  soprano, 
and  Mrs.  J.  R.  Green,  whose  pianoforte 
playing  has  always  delighted  Victoria 
audiences.  Both  these  artistes  gars  of 
their  beet  last  evening. 

"Oh  Had  I  Jubal'a  Lyre"  was  sung  by 
Miss  Hart,  in  which  she  showed  the  in- 
terpretlon  of  Handel  as  applied  by  the 
female  voice  to  good  effect  "Rosalind's 
Madrigal"  and  "May-Day."  as  weU  aa 
her  other  selections,  were  most  pleas- 
ing. 

Mrs.  Oreen's  pianoforte  solos  were 
brilliantly  played.  She  showed  her 
talent  In  her  usual  convincing  manner. 
Her  rendition  of  her  Chopin  numbers 
were  perfect  and  she  wss  called  upon 
enthusiastically  to  respond  to  several 
encores. 

Before  the  conclusion  of  the  recital, 
Lieutenant-Governor  Barnard  Introduced 
to  the  audience  Mr.  M  P.  Pennell,  or- 
ganiser in  Canada  of  the  British  Bailors' 
Relief  Fund.  His  Honor  thought  it  ap- 
propriate that  the  needs  of  the  fund 
should  be  brought  before  those  at  the 
concert  on  account  of  Its  being  held 
under  the  auspices  of  the  Esquimau 
sub-committee  of  the  Red  Cross,  which 
organisation,  on  account  of  Its  location, 
had  always  had  a  strong  affiliation  with 
the  navy.  ' 

Mr.  Watkln  Mills,  in  eomplla/ce  with 
many  requests,  wfll  give  a  concert  in 
the  First  Presbyterian  Church  on  Wed- 
nesday next  at  S  p.  m..  when  he  will 
render  some  of  hie  most  popular  num- 
bers. He  will  be  assisted  by  Mra  Mae- 
donald  Fahey,  Mra  Gertrude  Huntley 
Green  and  Mr.  Edward  Persona  There 
Is  little  doubt  that  the  event  win  attract 
a  big  audience,  ae  it  will  bs  the  fare- 
well appearance  here  of  Mr.  MUls  dur- 
ing his  present  stay  on  the  Coast 

MERCHANTS'  PICNIC 


Burners*  Tote. 

The  Liberals  seem  to  hsve  a  terror 
of  the  soldiers'  vote.  In  the  House  ob- 
jection was  raised  to  Its  being  made 
effective  by  the  Liberal  members,  and 
ever  since  there  has  been  a  eteady 
criticism  of  the  idea  of  giving  these 
men,  who  are  fighting  or  ready  to  ea- 
ter the  fight,  the  chance  to  vote.  The 
Newe  ridicules  the  Idea  of  soldiers  vot- 
ing, snd  says,  other  men  away  from 
home  might  as  well  be  allowed  to  vote. 
We  are  not  so  sure  that  others  should 
not  be  allowed  to  east  a  ballot.  New- 
Zealand  has  long  had  a  system  of  vot- 
ing by  mall  for  absentees.  At  tbe 
seme  time  the  soldiers  at  the  front 
are  surely  far  more  entitled  to  vote 
then  are  any  other  class  of  absentees 
from    ridings. — Prince    Rupert    Journal.

envy.  Lord  Haldano  made  a  meat  val- 
uable speech  recently  In  tbe  House  of 
Lords  on  our  national  system  of  edu-

Is  aurely  wrong  that  In  thla  country 
only  ton  per  cent  of  our  young  people 
continue  their  education  after  the  age 
of  fourteen.  That  needs  reforming, 
and  so,  also,  doea  our  elementary 
school  system,  where  tbe  curriculum  la 
far  too  crowded  with  aubjesta,  and  tho

W1NN1PKU.  Aug.  11.— Wheat  closed 
6 Vic  higher  for  October.  »%p  higher 
for  December,  and  4%c  better  tor  May; 
orta,  Ho  hlghor  for  October,  and  at* 
better  for  December;  barley.  2  Vac  high* 
•r;  flag.  So  h  Ik  Her  for  October,  Sc  for 
/November,  and  Sc  tor  December.  Though 
the  trade  was  professional  today,  and 
only  of  a  medium  volume,  wheat  made 
a  sensational  advance.  The  price  worked 
steadily  higher  during  the  day,  and  eves 
though  the  offerings  by  the  profit- 
tekera  sometimes  were  heavy,  they 
were  well  absorbed,  and  wheat  never 
looked  like  weakening.  Mod  of  the 
trade  was  scalping  and  spreading.  The 
cauae  of  It  all  was  further  reporfV  of 
damage  throughout  the  Prairie  Prov- 
inces. Thla  caused  most  of  the  buy- 
ing. The  trade  Is  not  in  aa  good  hands 
an  a  week  ago.  The  caah  market  saw 
a  good  demand  for  wheat  and  oat  a.  with 
llgHt  receipts  In  both.  Barley  and  flax 
were  dull.

NHW  WBSTMIXSTKR.  B.  C.  Aug.  11. 
—Bringing  to -a  head  plans  which  were 
formed  aome  time  ego  but  were  halted 
by  xhe  outbreak  of  war,  the  Vulcan  Iron- 
works Is  now  negotiating  with  the  City 
Council  for  the  lease  ef  a  suitable  wa- 
terfront site  for  the  immediate  estab- 
lish men t  of  a  holler  shop  and  foundry 
and  eventually  a  first  class  steel  ship- 
building and  repair  yard,  which  It  Is 
proposed  to  equip  with  a  floating  dry- 
dock.  The  Council  Is  thia  after  toon  in 
conference  with  Mr.  John  R.  Duncan 
with  a  view  to  arranging;  a  lease,  but 
although  tha  fits  has  not  yet  oe-.-n 
secured,  preliminary  steps  towards  the 
realisation  of  the  project  have  already 
been  taken  by  the  ordering  of  much  of 
the  heavy  equipment  required  to  handle 
the  work  which  will  be  done  here. 

The  property  which  la  at  preaent 
under  consideration  la  a  portion  of  the 
site  recently  improved  at  the  foot  of 
Tenth  Street,  adjoining  the  C.  N.  It. 
holdings.  About  a  hundred  feet  front- 
age on  the  outermost  harbor  line  and  a 
further  stretch,  the  exact  length  of 
which  has  not  been  determined,  on  the 
portion  below  the  Jos;  is  the  suggested 
arrangement.  This  would  provide  a 
suitable  dock  with  deep  water  for  the 
larger  ahlps  which  will  come  in  for  re- 
pairs, or  to  unload  steel,  while  tugs  and 
smaller  craft  can  be  docked  in  the  basin 
below  the  Jog,  where  it  Is  planned  to 
locate  the  drydock  when  tha  tlmeCkr- 
rives. 

If  this  site  la  leased,  the  boiler  shop 
will  be  built  on  the  eastern  side  of  tue 
site,  with  the  foundry  at  right  angles, 
and  the  yard  will,  lie  between  that  and 
the  office,  which  will  front  on  Columbia 
Street.  As  an  Indication  of  the  manner 
In  which  the  new  establishment  will 
handle  work  of-  all  classes,  Including 
the  largest  Coast  vessels,  it  may  be 
stated  that  the  equipment  will  Include 
the  heaviest  plate  rolls  on  the  Pacific 
Coast,  weighing  St  tons  and  capable  of 
handling  steel  plates  aa  inch  thick, 
eighteen  feet  wide  and  of  any  length. 
These  rolls  are  already  on  order,  as  Is 
also  a  steel  planing  machine  of  the  most 
up-to-date  kind.  % 
Moot  Modern  Plant 
The  preaent  plant  of  tha  Vulcan 
Ironworks,  hampered  as  it  is  for  room, 
is  nevertheless  well  equipped  la  many 
respects.  It  will  be  transferred  to  the 
sew  location,  and  with  the  added  equip- 
ment, Mr.  Duncan  states,  It  will  be  no 
exaggeration  to  aay  that  the  new  plant 
will  be  the  most  up-to-date  on  the  Pa- 
cific Coaat 1    .  ■ 

The  plana  will  call  for  an  immediate 
Investment  of  tuo.ooo.  and  the  drydock. 
when  built,  will  probably  cost  Another 
$200,000.  It  will  be  built  by  the  com- 
pany, and  will  be  capable  of  enlarge- 
ment as  occasion  demands  It  will  not 
be  built,  however,  while  steel  continues 
to  command  the  present  exaggerated 
prices.  It  la  possible  that  In  the  mean- 
time a  temporary  marine  ways  may  be 
built,  for  the  reason  that  when  a  ship 
cornea  la  for  repalra  there  ta  usually 
some  underwater  work  to  be  dose.  This 
has  In  the  pact  meant  that  the  repairs 
could  not  be  done  la  the  river,  in  the 
caet  of  vessels  of  any  slew,  for  the  rea- 
son that  there  waa\e  way  of  hauling 
them  out  of  the  water. 

The  eetabflsbmont  of  a  first  class 
ateel  shit  repairing  plant  here  will  have 
the  effect  of  placing  New  Westminster 
on  the  map  In  the  shipping  line.  Lo- 
cated next  door  to  the  C  N.  B.  term- 
inals, it  will  be  In  a  position  to  handle 
thla  company's  large  business  not  only 
In  repairing  but  also  eventually  In  new 
construction.  The  C.  P.  R.  also  win  no 
longer  have  aay  eneaae  for  sending 
their  visa  ale  to  Seattle  for  repalra.

fg'SW  YORK,  Aug.  IS.— To  the  further 
delay  In  the  railway  labor  negotiations 
at  Washington  wae  attributed  much  of 
the  hesitation  and  occasion  reaction  la 
today's  market.  Trading  was  very  ac- 
tive, however,  but  wan  restricted  mere 
than  recently  ta  the,  bettor 
speculative  favorites,  shipping 
United  States  Steel,  and  Beading  fur- 
lushing  a  large  part  af  the  session  s 
bualneaa. 

Mercantile  Marines  were  again -the 
leaders,  with  a  new  high  record  far  the 
p/eferred,  on  its  gross  gain  of  4*4, 
points,  to  10J*i.  part  of  which  was  lost 
later  on  cables  from  London  Indicating 
future  restrictions  against  companies 
under  foreign  control.  Marine  common 
was  almost  an  prominent  ae  tha  pre- 
ferred, rising  %.  to  SS%,  very  near  Its 
maximum.  West  Indies  and  United 
Fruit  task  the  lead  freaa  Marines  lathe 
final  hours,  the  farmer  attaining  a  new 
high  price  on  lta  extreme  advance  of 
*•».  while  United  Fruit,  la  which  deal- 
ings reached  unusual  proportions,  ad- 
canver  steadily   to   168V 

United  States  Steel  fa  fled  to  dupli- 
cate Its  recent  daily  performance  of 
reaching  to  higher  levels,  and  at  no 
t'-me  today  reached  yesterday 'e  best 
prices,  plainly  indicating  the  effects  of 
realising  sales.  Shares  of  minor  steel 
companies  were  firm  to  strong,  the 
conaptcueus  features  being  Colorado 
Fuel,  Republic  Steel,  Great  Northern 
Ore,  end  Virginia  Coal  and  Coke. 

Mexicans  were  censpicuoiss  at  higher 
prlcee  during  the  morning.  Petroleum 
and  American  Smelting  featuring  that 
class,  but  bore  alee  profit-taking  proved 
effective.  Motors  and  munitions  were 
irregular  and  mostly  lower.  Balls  were 
comparatively  inactive,  Reading,  St. 
Paul,  and  Rock  Island  reflecting  pres- 
sure. High-priced  specialties  were  rep- 
resented by  American  Sugar,  which  rose 
1>H  points  on  a  single  sale,  to  zif. 
Total  sales  were  716.000  shares. 
Honda  were  steady,  with  total  sales, 
Par  value,  s:\eee.ooo.  United  States 
bonds  were  unchanged  on  call. 


Seattle,  wash.,  Aug.  is.— ciuee  to 

the  identity  of  the  persona  responsible 
for  the  dynamiting  of  pier  D  and  the 
attempt  to  burn  pier  4  Wednesday  night, 
and  Thursday  morning  wore  traced  by 
the  police  department  and  tha  office  af 
Fire  Marshal  Harry  W.  Bringhurst,  but 
no  tangible  results  were  obtainable. 
The  police  and  fire  departments  are  co- 
operating with  private  agencies  in  an 
effort  to  ferret  out  those  responsible 
for  the  waterfront  outrages.  _, 

Mayor  Gill  announced  that  special 
officers  in  ths  waterfront  will  be  re- 
tained until  the  strike'  to  settled. 

The  dynamite  placed  under  the 
northwest  corner  of  an  auxiliary 
wooden  freight  house  of  the  Pactnc 
Coast  Steamship  Company  at  plsr  D  waa 
Intended  to  blow  Intg  eternity  twenty- 
three  non-union  workers  employed'  at 
the  wharf.  Three  of  these  men  lived 
In  a  shack  three  feet  waet  of  ths  freight 
house. 

The  twenty  other  workmen  were 
housed  in  quarters  on  ths  mein  dock, 
shout  twelve  feet  from  the  direct  scene 
of  the  explosion.  The  police  believe 
the  explosion  was  the  result  of  a  de- 
liberate attempt  to  destroy  the  lives  of 
all  the  workers  on  the  dock,  and  that 
this  would  have  happened  but  for  the 
blundering  of  the  dynamiters.

Tha  fire  marshal'a  office  had  an 
opinion  differing  from  that  af  the  po- 
lice regarding  the  fire  en  Dodwell  ft 
Co.'e  dock,  or  pier  4,  at  the  foot  of 
Spring  Street.  It  to  believed  by  the  fire- 
men that  the  blase  was  ths  work  of  the 
eame  Individual  or  individuals  who 
started  Srcs  at  Schwabacher's  wharf, 
and  set  fire  to  bog  cars  on  a  aiding  at 
Ballard. 

"From  our  Investigation  today  we  be- 
lieve the  psrty  who  used  this  phos- 
phorus attsmptad  to  throw  it  against 
the  chimney  on  the  roof  of  the  dock," 
said  Harry  L.  Naff,  assistant  Are  mar- 
shal. "This  phosphorus  will  not  Ignite 
as  long  as  it  Is  damp.  But  aa  soon  as 
It  to  dry  there  to  nothing  to  prevent  It 
causing  much  damage.  The  bottle  we 
picked  up  has  tha  odor  of  phosphorus 
aad  to  In  line  with  the  discovery  we 
mode  of  purchases  of  thle  stuff  frem 
a  wholesale  chemical  house. 

"We  were  Informed  that  a  reaghty-at- 
tired  individual  bengal  a  quantity  af 
phosphorus  some  fifteen  fays  ago  and 
ale  actions  were  so  suspicious  that  prl- 
▼ete  detect l v*»  ware  gat  en  his  trail. 
He  was  followed  bat  no  attempt  waa 
to  arrest  him."

the  Neue  Zuricher  Zeltuna*  says  that 
the  German  submarine  Doutschland  ar- 
rived safely  yesterday  at  Bremen  from 
the   United  States. 


NEWPORT  NEWS,  Va..  Aug.  II.— 
The  captain  of  a  Norwegian  steamship 
which  arrived  in  Hampton  Roads  for 
bunker  coal  stated  today  that  he 
passed  the  German  submarine  Doutsch- 
land on  August  10,  then  eight  days  out 
from  the  Virginia  Capes.  The  captain 
said  he  took  her  for  a  sailing  ship  in 
distress.  He  received  a  reply  which 
said  It  was  the  Deutschland.  The 
Doutschland  had  collapsible  masts  fore 
and  aft  when  she  lay  at  her  wharf  in 
Baltimore. 

OS    Oread    Banks 

BOSTON.  Aug.  It.— The  sighting  of  a 
large  submarine,  believed  to  bo  the 
German  submarine  Deutschland,  off  the 
Grand  Banks  on  .Saturday^  was  reported 
by  members  of  the  crew'  of  the  Warren 
lint r  Sachem,  which  arrived  last  night 
from  France  and  Liverpool.  The  sub- 
mersible was  travelling  in  a  north- 
easterly  direction  at   moderate   speed. 

Boon  after  the  submarine  was  sight- 
ed the  steamship  was  turned  toward 
her,,  the  Sachem's  officers  believing  at 
first  that  she  was  a  dismasted  vessel. 
A  few  minutes  later  the  submarine 
submerged   and   was   not  seen  again. 

The  quartermaster  said  that  on  ber 
second  day  out  from  France  the 
Sachem  was  pursued  for  eight  hours 
by  two  German  submarines.  The 
Sachem,  making  14  knots  an  hour,  suc- 
ceeded in  keeping  out  of  danger.  Tho 
pursuit  was  ended,  according  to  the 
quartermast:  r,  when  British  patrol 
boats  appeared  and  fired  several  shots 
at  the  submarines,  with  what  result  It 
Is  not  known.. 


COPPER  IN  NORTH 


Beport     of     Discovery     by     Stefansson 

Party   Bxcites   Interest— BTattva 

Metal  in  Great  Quantity 

NEW  YORK,  Aug.  18.— The  discovery 
by  the  Canadian  Arctic  expedition, 
headed  by  Yilhjalmur  Stefansson,  of  a 
great  field  of  native  copper  in  the  vi- 
cinity of  the  Copper  Mine  River,  in  the 
neighborhood  of  Prince  Albert  Land, 
will  prove  of  great  value  to  the  busi- 
ness world,  says  Dr.  Chester  A.  Reeds, 
of  the  American  Museam  of  Natural 
History.  Dr.  Reeds  believes  also  that 
It  will  afford'  scientists  an  opportunity 
for  displaying  their  ingenuity  In  find- 
ing an  outlet  from  a  region  that  is 
still  unopened  in  a  commercial     sense. 

The  work  of  the  party  which  arrived 
In  Nome  on  Tuesday  is  expected  to 
prove  valuable  in  determining  the  di- 
rection of  winds  and  movement  of 
tides  in  the'  Polar  region.  Dr.  Reeds 
said  this  work  might  go  a  long  way  to 
prove  or  disprove  the  theory  that  an 
unknown  continent  exists  in  the  great 
unexplored  region  north  of  Alaska  and 
west  and  northwest  of  Greenland. 


SAN  ANTONIO.  Tex-  Aug.  !••— . 
Cnlted  States  soldiers  and  National 
Guardsmen  at  Fort  Brown  have  been 
driven  from  their  quarters  and  have 
taken  refuge  in  the  city  hall  and  other 
public  buildings  at  Brownsville  on  ac- 
count of  the  storm  which  is  striking 
that  section  tonight,  according  to 
meagre  reports  received  over  the  army 
wireless  at  Fort  Sam  Houston  from 
Fort  Brown  tonight.  A  terrific  and  de- 
structive wind,  according  to  this  re- 
port, haa  wrought  havoc  In  Browns- 
ville and  in  the  military  camp. 

All  wires  to  Brownsville  are  Inter- 
rupted, ami  communication  except  over 
the  army  wireless  Is  impossible. 

It  was  stated  at  arm*/  headquarters 
here .  tonight  that  fear  was  entertained 
of  saving-  the  immense  quantities  of 
army  stores  and  supplies  in  and  around 
Brownsville.  The  latest  reports  said  It 
was  blowing  70  miles  an  hour.

BROWNSVILLE,  Tex.,  Aug.  18.— (By 
radio  to  the  A.  P.  at  San  Antonio, 
Texas) — Damage  here  from  tho  hurri- 
cane was  Blight  up  to  six  o'clock  to- 
night, although  the  wind  reached  a 
velocity  of  60  miles  an  hour  during  the 
day.  The  barometer  marked  29.27  dur- 
ing the  middle  of  the  afternoon,  but  at 
5  o'clock  It  rose  to  29.86. 

At  dark  the  territory  in  the  reaches 
of  the  storm  extended  from  Corpus 
Christl  to  Tampico,  Mexico.  There  was 
then  no  sign  of  abatement. 
— The  wind,  starting  from  the  north- 
east, later  changed  to  the  southwest, 
blowing  out  to  sea.  Damage  here  con- 
sisted mostly  of  broken  plate  glass  win- 
dows and  levelled  fences  and  trees. 
Hundreds  of  army  tents  are  down  and 
the  troops  are  moving  Into  the  city.

WOULD  LIKE  PEACE 


Turks   aad   Bulgarians   Beport  ad   to   Be 

Sounding  Prominent  People  Of 
Teutonic  Powers 

ROME,  Aug.  18. — Reports  are  coming 
from  east,  west,  north  and  south  con- 
cerning efforts  by  Turkey  and  Bulgaria 
to  make  a  separate  peace  with  the  En- 
tente. However,  the  papers  here  warn 
the  people  not  to  put  too  much  faith 
in  such  rumors,  since,  although  there  Is 
a  grain  of  truth  in  them,  the  govern- 
ments of  those  countries  have  taken 
no   direct  steps  to  that  end. 

The  fact  seems  to  be  that  certain 
influential  persons  in  both  Turkey  and 
Bulgaria  have  sounded  representatives 
of  Britain.  France  and  Russia  for  the 
purpose  of  ascertaining  if  there  were 
grounds  on  which  Bulgaria  and  Turkey 
could  arrange  a  separate  peace  with  the 
Entente,  but  that  the  representatives  of 
the  allied  powers  replied  evasively.  In- 
timating that  their  governments  would 
treat  only  with  the  responsible  govern- 
ments of  Bulgaria  and  Turkey,  and  on 
the  understanding  that  the  countries 
desiring  peace  would  acknowledge  fully 
and  without  equivocation  the  complete 
victory  of  the  Entente  powers.

and  of  being  given  110,000  with  which 
he  was  to  make  terms  with  Salt  for  a

SUBMARINE  WARFARE 

Washington     Authorities     Believe     That 

Germany  Is  Keeping  Fledge  Given 

to  United  States 

WASHINGTON.  Aug.  18.— Secretary 
Lansing  announced  today  that  official  In- 
quiry had  contradicted  European  reports 
that  Germany  was  violating  her  pledge 
to  the  United  States  regarding  submar- 
ine attacks. 

A  dispatch  from  London  stated  that 
when  Baron  Sydenham  asked  In  thev 
House  of  Lords  last  Tuesday  whether 
the  Government  considered  that  Ger- 
many was  keeping  its  pledge  to  tho 
United  States  regarding  submarine  war- 
fare and  whether  Austrian  submarines 
were  bound  by  the  same  pledge,  the  Mar- 
quis of  Crewe,  lord  president  of  the 
council,  replied  that  the  Government  had 
information  that  since  the  German  Gov- 
ernment gave  Its  pledge  to  the  United 
States  last  May,  four  British  and  three 
neutral  ships  had  been  sunk  without 
warning  by  submarines,  almost  certainly 
German  submarines,  and  that  another 
neutral  vessel  had  been  attacked  by  tor- 
pedoes. Forty  lives  had  been  lost  when 
the  seven  vessels  were  sunk. 

He  added  that  It  was  Impossible  to  Es- 
cape the  conclusion  that  Germany  wan 
violating  her  pledge  to  the  United  States.
